Description

BRAILES WHATCOTE ROAD SP34SW (West side) 3/67 Compton Pike

  • II

Probably erected as a beacon and subsequently used as a landmark. C16. Coursed squared ironstone rubble. Base of square section tapering upwards to a point surmounted by a ball finial with iron hook at the apex. Noted as probably being one of the network of beacons covering the country to give warning of the landing of the Spaniards at the time of the Armada. The iron hood at the apex would have supported either a lantern or a flaming fagot. (Guidebook: Compton Wynyates, p.21).
