Very little is known about this short-lived lighthouse. Constructed on the tiny Pamet River (or Parmet) in Truro in 1849, there are few records regarding the existence of the light. The lighthouse was built to mark the north entrance to Pamet harbor (on the west side of the Cape). The lighthouse consisted of a lantern room built atop the keeper's house.

There are conflicting reports as to the exact location of the lighthouse. An 1848 survey places it several miles north of the harbor mouth, on Corn Hill, while an 1858 map places it at Snow's Beach, at the mouth of the harbor. The property was sold to the government by Jane Snow, and the 1854 List of Lights places the light 31 feet above the sea, which support the Snow's Beach site. The lighthouse was discontinued in 1856. The property was sold in 1857 or 1858. There is no record of what became of the lighthouse, and there is no known photo of the lighthouse.
