Mainly 19th century but probably incorporating earlier work.
Small harbour, roughly triangular on plan enclosed at E by
curved pier and W by long pier projecting seaward and
terminated by small circular concrete beacon. Rubble, tooled
rubble dressings, some concrete. Seaward side of each pier
raised to form seawall portecting quayside.
Rosehearty became a busy fishing port in the early 19th
century. The depth of water in the harbour (9' during neap
tides, 14' during spring tides) offered good anchorage on an
exposed coastline. After it was discovered in 1810 that
harbour dues were the right of the feuer rather than the
heritor, this income grew and was an important element in the
prosperity of the burgh.
Extensive additional, but less sheltered, anchorage was
available just east of the harbour in Port Rae; this is not
included in listing.
A modern swimming pool projects into the harbour, contained
within concrete walling. This swimming pool and its
containing walls are not included in listing.
