Ivinghoe Beacon is a late Bronze Age - early Iron Age hill fort which has been settled since the 7th-8th century BC. There are numerous barrows around the site.
One in particular is quite impressive as it is rather large and there appears to be a raised causeway linking it and the top of the beacon.
This is a good place to watch the sunrise on the Summer Solstice, as the sun aligns itself with the above barrow.
Parking is good and it is well maintained.
