Sea defences, Stevenston Point The point is man-made and was constructed by the former Ardeer Ironworks just to the north. Iron ore was imported by the ironworks through Ardrossan Harbour. They seeked to reduce costs by building their own quay by dumping slag into the sea, but it became apparent that the quay would not be suitable for the large vessels required and the project was eventually abandoned.
