Cairn on the southern brow of Western Beacon

The National Heritage List for England records Cairn on the southern brow of Western Beacon as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Neolithic chambered cairn; dates to the earlier part of the Neolithic period (c. 3700–2500 BCE). It is significant as part of a broader network of prehistoric funerary monuments in upland landscapes, reflecting early communal burial practices and social organisation.
