The 0.1 [[hectare]] rock is home to a 44&nbsp;m (144&nbsp;ft) lighthouse which was designed by engineers [[David Stevenson (engineer)|David]] and [[Thomas Stevenson]] after it was realised that the lights on the Calf of Man were not sufficient to warn ships away. Construction of this tapered granite structure was completed in December 1874 and the first official lighting day was on 1 January 1875.
