The West Ropery (site of), South Yard, Devonport Dockyard is a scheduled ancient monument representing the remains of a rope-making facility within one of Britain's principal naval dockyards. The ropery dates from the eighteenth century, when Devonport Dockyard was established as a major centre for naval construction and maintenance, and rope production was essential to the dockyard's operations. The site's designation reflects the archaeological importance of understanding the industrial infrastructure that supported naval power during this period, though the structures themselves no longer survive above ground.
