MenuThieveley Pike Beacon, Lancashire
Thieveley Pike Beacon is the site of a former ancient warning beacon on the summit of Thieveley Pike, two miles north of Bacup in Lancashire. The site was described in 1868 as comprising a basin, 80 feet in circumference, with many of the stones within the ring or immediate locality as being scorched by fire. Field investigations in 2003 found the beacon to comprise a much disturbed mound, 4½ feet high, with a hollowed top. An Ordnance Survey trig station had been built on the south-west edge. Due to its location it has been also interpreted as the site of a possible upland round barrow later reused as a beacon. It is within the council area of Burnley (Lancashire).
