Lighthouse and watchtower, with attached building at the entrance of the old harbour

Mid C19 3-storey lighthouse and watchtower with long single storey range to E. Built of rubble masonry with limestone dressings and plinth; slate roofs. The lighthouse and watchtower has battered walls and a hipped roof. The lower 2 storeys have exposed stonework including large limestone quoins at angles; above the 2nd storey is a slightly advanced string course above which the elevations are rendered. Windows are 6-pane casements, one to each storey of the S elevation, a single upper storey window at the W end of the N elevation (facing out to sea). The long range built against the E wall of the tower was probably built with a gable roof, now raised along the S wall and with a single pitched roof sloping down to the N. The S elevation has a doorway at the far L (W) end with a 6-pane casement window to its R; offset to the R end of the range are 2 narrow slots. At the far R (E) end there is a wide doorway with shallow cambered head inscribed with the date 1853.

Interior not inspected at the time of the survey.
