Irelands most Northerly point. This tall building is known locally as "the tower" and was constructed in1908 by the Admiralty and later used as a Lloyds Signal Station.To the north-east Inistrahull Island can be seen. Its first lighthouse was put into operation in 1813, and its light flashes every 30 seconds. On a clear day the hills of Jura and Islay (Scottish Islands)can also be seen.

The nearby Wee House of Malin, set in a cliff, was once a hermit's cell and is said to have been the home of St Muirdealach.
