| Rock Cairn The original rock cairn on this site was built by the early Wellstead family under Government maritime supervision as a means of alerting visiting coastal ships when there were travellers or cargo to go aboard. By means of a white day flag or a lantern at the head of the central pole the crew would know that there could be, for example, wool, tree bark or produce to be picked up for one or other of the ports around the south coast which they visited regularly.
| Plaque on Rock Cairn The service was phased out in the early 1930s when shipping ceased and road transport took over. With the passing years the cairn collapsed and suffered from vandalism. In the 1980s the local Progress Assoication, together with the then active Tourism Committee, decided to reconstruct the cairn as something of historical interest, but it was built in a slightly different form from the original.
