Notes:
This light was established to mark a rocky shoal that extends almost a mile to the northeast. The keepers' dwellings and other buildings were all removed or demolished by 1991. Erosion is a major problem here, which necessitated the installation of a new light tower further from the edge of the cliff in 1990.
