Officially opened on 12 December 1907, used for commercial signalling between Clifden and Glace Bay in Nova Scotia. The Station was attacked by Republican forces in July 1922. The Marconi Company sought compensation from the New Free State Government, which was not forthcoming, the station closed some time afterwards.
