A signal station was built here in 1820 but it was updated to a lighthouse after the sinking of the Martello on Carr Rock in 1857. The new lighthouse was ready by 1862. The light was originally oil burning, it was converted to incandescent power in 1906 and then electricity in 1966. Three lighthouse keepers lived here until the light was automated in 1993.
