Stone quay is a post-medieval quay structure located in County Down, Northern Ireland. The monument represents the development of maritime infrastructure during the early modern period, reflecting the commercial and trading activities of the region. Built from stone construction, the quay would have served as a landing place and point of transfer for goods and passengers, typical of the functional harbour improvements undertaken in Ulster during the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries. Such quay structures were essential to the economic life of coastal and riverine settlements during this era.
