Beacon Castle (Settlement)

Archaeological place

What is recorded here

Beacon Castle (Settlement) is an archaeological place in North Devon, England. The name suggests a light or warning function, yet no tower, fire or keeper appears in the available facts. A settlement may have clustered around that beacon, watching the coast or marking a boundary for travellers. The castle part may be metaphorical, a local nickname born from height, visibility or pride rather than stone walls.
Beacon Castle (Settlement) is shown as a archaeological place on the public map of North Devon. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
