<1> Royal Commission on Historical Monuments (England), 1970, An Inventory of Historical Monuments in the County of Dorset, Volume II (South East) Part 1, 134 (Monograph). SDO148.

'(3) PIER, SEA WALL, etc., on the E. side of Kimmeridge Bay (908787), were built probably by Sir William Clavell in the early 17th century, in connection with mineral working. … In the 19th century a further Tramway, nearly a mile long, was laid from workings at 916782 and 915787 down to the shore to just N. of the earlier structures, where a timber pier, now destroyed, projected from a length of sea wall; this last survives in fair condition. The tramway is shown on the 1930 edition of the 6 ins. O.S. map (sheet LV S.E.).'
