Why this matters

Fire Beacon is approximately 190 metres high and is composed primarily of limestone and clay. It is named after a historical signal fire site used in the 17th century to warn of enemy activity; it matters as a minor but locally significant landmark with historical ties to Somerset's defensive history.

What is recorded here
