Description

The structure is a riverside quay with an associated lime kiln, likely built in the early to mid-19th century. It is constructed from local stone rubble and measures about 30 meters in length. The quay is situated on the rocky edge of Warfleet Creek and is terraced into the hillside below Castle Road. At the eastern end, there is a lime kiln built against the terrace, designed for loading from a platform that aligns with the level of Castle Road. The quay features two large arched openings topped with a timber lintel and a low relieving arch, although one of these openings has been replaced with concrete. There are deep alcoves behind the openings that diminish to small blocked raking holes. This well-preserved small quay and lime kiln are part of the industrial area at the head of the creek, which includes the Dartmouth Pottery on Warfleet Creek Road.
