Description

The magazine located immediately south-southwest of Lundy South Lighthouse is a building constructed around 1897 for Trinity House, intended for storing signal explosives. It is built from granite, rendered and blocked out, featuring a rendered barrel-vaulted roof with semi-circular gable ends. The structure has a small rectangular plan divided into two cells, with a doorway at either end and small hatches facing the lighthouse.

The exterior is a single storey. The north elevation, which faces land, has two small square hatches with iron doors that have ring handles, along with a moulded iron gutter supported by ornate cast-iron brackets. The south elevation, facing the sea, has a similar gutter and brackets but no openings. Each end of the building has a doorway with a plank door, and there is a plain rendered plinth.

The interior has not been inspected. The magazine was constructed alongside the South and Lundy North Lighthouses, which were built when the Old Lighthouse was abandoned in 1897 due to frequent fog obscuring it from view, given its high elevation above sea level.
