What is recorded here

Situated at the N of Gun Rock, to the W of Port island, at the S of Bofin harbour on Inishbofin. This beacon is one of a group of three beacons (GA009D0017, GA009D018) used for navigation purposes to enter and exit Bofin harbour. Like the other two beacons it is a solid tower, circular in plan, which tapers as it rises. it is capped by a tier of three stepped ashlar courses the first of which overhangs the eaves a little. The structure is constructed of masonry and is rendered and white-washed. Compiled by: Margaret Keane Updated on: 4 November 2019
