What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Harting Beacon: a hilltop enclosure, Anglo-Saxon burial mound and telegraph station on Beacon and Pen Hills 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.
Harting Beacon is a multi-period site featuring a hilltop enclosure and an Anglo-Saxon burial mound, likely dating to the early medieval period. While primarily of archaeological significance, local tradition sometimes associates such elevated mounds and enclosures with fairy lore or ancient ritual activity.
