Constructed of red sandstone the structure stands on top of the steep cliffs above the Celtic Sea.[4] HistoryThe lighthouse was built in 1851 and has a 22 m (72 ft.) white tower with a black band. It was converted to electricity in September 1964. The beacon flashes white and red every 2.5 sec. and has a range of 52 km (28 nautical miles).[3] A new light with a decreased range of 22.224 km (12 nautical miles) was installed in 2012.[5] See also{{stack|{{Portal|Ireland|Lighthouses}}}}
