    Is the lighthouse magical or mundane? If it's more mundane it'd need a fuel source so they might engaging whaling or the like (does whale oil make a decent fuel source for old lighthouses? I'm not actually sure) so they might have an associated yard for it.

    Also if a sizable percentage of the workers are from out of town working seasonally, they might live in a campsite of sorts.

    I would suppose. I did a quick search to try to find out what fuels were around in the middle ages. I could only find that animal fat was used. I think they used a wood fire in ancient lighthouses, but I could be wrong.

    The lighthouse might be using wood. You need a large fire and it seems that oil would not work for a long standing fire like that.
