With the build up of beach deposits and housing developments on the reclaimed land a substantial stone retaining wall was built around this housing area. The wall ran form the west face of a stone mole (TR 23 NE 228) around the angle of the plot then west to the area later known as Kings Bridge Street. The wall, from evidence found during a watching brief in 2000, seems to have been constructed from rough ragstone blocks with a rough ragstone core. This reclainmed plot is claerly shown on the Powell's map of 1782. The wall was eventually replaced by the construction of the Inner Harbour Wall in the 19th century.
