Climbing up the knoll from the west saw this before the toposcope another 100 meters further south east. It is on slightly higher ground than the toposcope. Logged visit as noted it is listed here when logging the TP. Stone engraved with some dates of royal occasions, jubilees and coronations. All dates have been listed on a plaque attached to the stone. It has a crack across it, possibly vandalism. However the most recent coronation being May 2023 is not listed. Neither is there any recent evidence of a bonfire having been lit at this site. Wonder if there was a bonfire or beacon lit here earlier this year but they haven’t updated the plaque yet. Fantastic views all around.

Jubilee beacon. Stunning views. Parked by church and walked up. Some deep steps on the way.

Parked near church and enjoyed the walk to summit. Wonderful field views and glorious views of the Severn. Great Christmas Eve walk.

Passed this Hill by car and train on hundreds of occasions. Finally decided to climb it on a beautiful November morning.

Walked up to bag Brent Knoll (we thought there would be a trig pillar), after a 12 mile walk in the Quantocks earlier that day. Great viewpoint for a little hill.

Parked at entrance to Manor Farm and trogged up here to find the trig pillar missing, but that the coronation stone counts as a bag - bargain 2 for 1! 360deg views: S onto the M5; SE to Glastnbury Tor; N to the Mendips; and W to the Bristol Channel.

Ascended from St Michael's church along the excellent footpath. GR8 views on this sunny March day on my way back from Exeter to Preston. Trig long gone.

Beautiful day, great walk & great views. I believe that this stands at 139m, 2m higher than the missing TP
