A 400-ft-long rubble-mound jetty was constructed on the west side of 

 Watch Hill Cove (Figure 43). The jetty was built to an elevation of 

 +8.0 ft mlw, a top width of 5 ft, and 1V:1.5H side slopes. The core 

 consisted of run of quarry stone and cover stone weighed between 

 600 lb and 2 tons. The cost for placing 456 tons of stone was 

 $3,990. 



The jetty was in good condition, with only minor displacement of 

 stone noted along its outer 150 ft. 



Annual visual inspections indicated the jetty was in good condition.
