Waterford. Cheekpoint is a coastal village, located east of Waterford City, at the confluence of the River Barrow and the River Suir. The village commands scenic views of Waterford Harbour. On the opposite side of the river along the north banks there is the Great island Power station in Co. Wexford. 1.2 The built heritage of the Harbour, consists of elements of the late 18th Century harbour such as the small stone pier and low quay walls, a row of 18th Century renovated single storey fisherman’s cottages, Daisybank House (1765) and the Mount (1750). The harbour/ pier is L-shaped. 1.3 Cheekpoint Harbour is prone to silting. In 1995 a series of groynes were built 200metres out in the river to divert the Cheekpoint Bar, which was a mudbank impeding large vessels traveling up the river, which resulted in Checkpoint silting up and now Waterford Port has to regularly dredge the river in the vicinity of Cheekpoint to ensure access to the quay.
