Trinity House Obelisk

The Trinity House Obelisk, also known as the Trinity House Landmark, is a 19th-century obelisk located at Portland Bill, on the Isle of Portland, Dorset, England.

[1] The obelisk was built in 1844 to warn ships off the coast of Portland Bill.

It stands at the southern tip of the Isle of Portland, acting as a warning of the low shelf of rock extending 30 metres south into the sea.

[2] The obelisk is made of Portland stone and is seven metres in height.

[1] The monument was saved from threatened demolition in 2002 after Trinity House deemed it too expensive to maintain.
