Segmental-headed entrance door opening on north-west side, painted sheet-steel security door fitted over opening, square granite threshold step. Set in boggy ground, fields to south-west, Carlingford Lough to north-east.
This lighthouse beacon not only fulfils a practical navigational function but also makes an interesting contribution to the lough at this point. It exhibits high quality masonry construction.
