A cast iron, gas-powered lighthouse of 1901 was built to guide ships into Scapa Flow. The superstructure has been removed, leaving a solid concrete plinth, which formed the base. It is located between two WWII searchlight emplacements (see SR24 (i)[ND49SW 27]). It lies 3m from the cliff edge and measures 4.4m by 5.2m. A modern lighthouse, with solar panels, has been built nearby.
