Portreath Lower Pilot's Lookout
The small cylindrical building perched slightly above the harbour formally titled the Lower Pilot’s Look-out (to distinguish it from the higher "lighthouse"). It was used to signal to ships whether it was safe to enter the harbour by displaying coloured flags during the day and coloured lanterns at night. It is also known as Dead Man's Hut as it was used as a temporary morgue when bodies were washed ashore.
