The stone bank east of Velator Bridge is constructed of fairly large slate blocks and appears to be bonded with mud. At the base of the build there is evidence of a wooden revetment slightly forward of the wall face. This is only visible at low tide and seems to be restricted to the east end of the wall. Two brick buttresses have been subsequently added in order to strengthen the bank, this may be associated with a raising of the ground level to the rear of the wall. Other details: (iv).
