A former Telegraph Station, built in 1841, and one of the original stations on the Holyhead to Liverpool Telegraph which first operated in 1827. The Census Returns for the parish in 1841 record that James Adams, a signalman from Cornwall, lived at the station, along with his wife and 2 young children. The Adams family occupied the station until the 1860s; the Census Returns for 1871 records the 'Puffin Island House' as unoccupied. In 1887 the station was converted from a Dock Board Observatory to a Biological Station. The building is now derelict.
Single storey, 2 windows; built of brick and stone, with central chimney and wing to north.
Listed as a C19 telegraph station of historic interest as one of a series of such stations providing communication links along the North Wales coast from Liverpool to Holyhead.
