Situated on a narrow country lane. Name info (Ref Archive.org) ..... The Beacon is marked on the Ordnance Map (scale 1 in. to the mile, Old Survey, Sheet 40 N.W.), at a point 1 mile east of Llanrhian. It is also shown on the Ordnance Map (scale 6 ins. to the mile, Pembrokeshire, Sheet 15 N.W.) on the division between two fields, as described by Fenton, immediately south of the road from Llanrhian to Mathry. The word "Beacon" does not appear on the 6-in. Ordnance Map, but the name seems to survive in Bickny, a house close to the tumulus to the westward. It is on high ground, being 300 ft. above the sea, although only a mile from the coast.
