Classified by Close-Brooks as a ferry look-out.
Information from J Close-Brooks to RCAHMS 1985.
An octagonal one-storey and attic masonry structure. Due to the situation as well as proximity to pier and its modern signal tower, a ferry tower appears most likely.
Information from RCAHMS (SC) 10th August 1999
Desk Based Assessment (10 January 2014)
This building is depicted on the 1st edition of the OS map (1878) and is labelled 'Signal House', presumably associated with the Ferry.
