Thomas Telford, circa 1815, with alterations to form a lighthouse circa 1848. 2-storey octagonal former dwelling and lighthouse with various single-storey storage and stable additions extending to the north and east. The group is enclosed to the rear by a high coped rubble wall. The buildings are predominantly all white rendered. There are shallow round-headed recesses to the octagonal ground floor with window openings in alternate bays. There are square recesses in the alternate first floor bays. A first floor oriel window to the west would have contained the former light. The slate roofs are predominantly piended. The former stable area is at the end of the north west range and it retains its setts and central drainage channel. There are three coped stacks with clay cans. All the windows are boarded up. [HS] In 2014 there was a building site, the light house is changing to a private holiday apartment. [MORR] 82
