This is a rare beacon construction being a square concrete block about 1m high, tapering from bottom to top.

We believe that this type is the predecessor to the standard beacons that are mostly found nowdays.

Visit Instructions:
We don't require you to provide any specific proof of your visit, but we do request that you upload photos if possible, the more the merrier.

Ideally, you should try to take photos at the actual beacon location, but if that isn't possible (private property, terrain, etc), then photos taken from a distance are also welcome, especially if the beacon is visible in the photo.
