The 17 meters tall structure built in 1794, originally had two open coal fire lights, which proved difficult to maintain and were replaced by a single oil-powered light contained within a cast-iron lantern. By 1977 this lantern had deteriorated beyond repair and was removed. In 1987 a new light was added.
The lighthouse can only be reached at low tide.
Today the lighthouse is a must visit destination for anyone who goes to the Gower Peninsula and is visible from miles away.
