Walker, the engineer who designed the lighthouse. Rendered and painted

Plan: Small building of rectangular single cell plan with a wide doorway on
the east end. The formerly slate-covered catchment area on the ground above
to the west supplied the well's water.

chamfered. The wide doorway on the east end has plank double doors. The
north side has a small C19 16-pane sash with a hood mould above and large
sill. The west end is blind.
