Description

Mainly of coursed rubble or rock-faced stone, with some areas of snecked rubble and much repair. The earlier S section is SSW-NNE parallel with the Town Walls, has a low rubble-stone parapet with flat copings and is approximately 220m long from a stone pier opposite the castle. Further S the wall curves to the S to Aber Bridge where there is a slipway partly cobbled, behind which the wall is of coursed rock-faced stone but with some repair in coursed hammer-dressed stone integral with bridge abutment. The stone pier shown on the 1834 town map. A similar stone pier, also on the 1834 map, is opposite the Royal Welsh Yacht Club and is reached down stone steps, which are shown on the town plan of c1810. The wall has an apsidal projection that follows the plan of the Yacht Club. Opposite the Bath Tower the wall curves outwards and continues N for approximately 120m to the NW end of Victoria Dock. This section has a parapet of monolithic dressed stone blocks, and has stone steps at the NW end, where the wall is of large blocks of coursed hammer-dressed stone.
