Creaden Head
Creadan Head () is a headland on a small peninsula on the west side of Waterford Harbour, about three miles upriver from Dunmore East, in the Ireland. Of uncertain meaning and presumed to be an individual's name, it is the most easterly point in Waterford.〔Place Names of the Decies by Rev. P. Power, Royal Irish Academy (London 1907)〕 Historically, it was part of the "main road" from Cork to London. A ferry crossing from the headland to Templetown on the eastern side of the bay was operated by the Knights Templar. Forty hand-hewn steps, leading down to sea-level, are still evident in the rocks at the headland. It is thought that these steps were also very useful to maritime pilots since the headland is an obvious embarkation and disembarkation point.
==Smuggling==
Creadan Head was apparently used as a landing stage for certain goods from ships heading upriver to Waterford, New Ross, Granny and other small ports. Items thus landed were not assessed for taxes and other dues, in other words they were being smuggled. Creadan House is situated at the start of the headland, overlooking a sheltered cove, Creadan Cove or Walls Cove. This cove was also used for landing goods.
North of the headland is a sandbar which narrows the navigable channel to the Port of Waterford. This river channel is buoyed from Creaden Head to mark the navigation.
