Built in the mid C19, before 1871, to facilitate the transportation of supplies, particularly coal, to and from Vaynol Park. The boathouse is presumably contemporary, as is the coalman's house, Ty Glo.
The dock is approximately quadrant shaped consisting of a curved rubble breakwater on the N, and a straight quay on the S, including stone steps. Both moles have rounded ends and the breakwater curves back to end beneath the E side of the boathouse. This building has deeply hipped slate roof, laid diagonally, and a verandah on the S supported on cylindrical columns in the manner of Wern-y-Gogas. Full height openings to the W, all extensively modernised. The dock has also been altered and divided up by the insertion of concrete ridges at the base - possibly concealing outfall pipes. At the mouth of the dock is the remains of what was possibly a stop-gate.
Listed as an unusual appurtenance of a large estate, relating to its economic prosperity, for its group value with Ty Glo and the boundary of Vaynol Park.
