This is the upper of the two lighthouses built by Thomas Prothero in 1830 to assist navigation of the Bristol Channel. The eastern lighthouse represents the original high light, and continued in use after the closure of the low light in c. 1924. Its lantern was replaced in 1867, the lens was replaced in 1924. It was electrified in 1971. The lighthouse is listed as Grade II by Cadw.
