Beacon Hill Camp, Nottinghamshire

Beacon Hill Camp is a prehistoric earthwork on Beacon Hill near Ginrley on the Hill, Nottinghamshire. It is unclear whether the earthwork, comprising little more than an artificially scarped hill-top, was ever truly defensible or just than the site of a beacon, as the name suggests. It is within the council area of Bassetlaw (Nottinghamshire).
Historic England Scheduled Monument 1003241.
