What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Westbury Beacon, a bell barrow 720m west of Brimble Pit Pool 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.
Bell barrow, dating to the Early Bronze Age (c. 2000–1500 BCE). It is significant as a rare surviving example of a prehistoric burial monument in the landscape, reflecting early ceremonial and funerary practices.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
