Between the bastions are two rectangular projections with Gothick arches below opening onto Menai Strait. To the S is a covered dock or plunge bath with brick arch ceiling, reached via stone steps and brick tunnel-vaulted passage. To the N is narrrow jetty projecting into Menai Strait (part of which has been washed away), reached through a subterranean room, through a Gothick arch flanked by 2 Gothick windows, the one to S being blind. Room with 2 bay cross vault in brick and stone bench along rear wall. Fireplace with massive squared stone lintel. At the S end of the sea wall is a curving harbour wall and slipway with a later parapet and a battlemented bastion set behind.
