The hill is located in St Cuthbert Out civil parish in Mendip district. The name Pen is believed to be Celtic for hill or tor.[1] It gives its name to one of the four periclines which underlay the geology of the hills.[2] The summit is 305 metres (1,001 ft) above sea level and is marked by an Ordnance Survey trig point. It is the second highest point on the Mendip Hills.[3] Pen Hill is home to the Mendip TV Mast which is 281 metres (922 ft) high. Pen Hill provides views in all directions, particularly to the south, with views to the City of Wells and Wells Cathedral (approximately {{convert|2|mi|km}} distant). On clear day it is often possible to see across Somerset to the Blackdown Hills, Quantock Hills and Brendon Hills. There are ancient remains on the hill, in the form of a neolithic Long barrow,[4] which has been listed as Scheduled Ancient Monument, and a post medieval pillow mound thought to have been built specifically for rabbit breeding.[5] References1. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.mendiphillsaonb.org.uk/publications/up_081015_autumn07_lo.pdf |title=Autumn newsletter 2007 |accessdate=2007-09-25 |format=PDF |work=Mendip Hills AONB |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20071128102641/http://www.mendiphillsaonb.org.uk/publications/up_081015_autumn07_lo.pdf |archivedate=2007-11-28 |df= }} {{Mendip Hills}}{{coord|51.23671|N|2.62590|W|region:GB_source:enwiki-osgb36(ST564488)|display=title}}2. ^{{cite web|title=Cave Life of Mendip|url=http://www.cambriancavingcouncil.org.uk/cavelife/mendips/index.html|publisher=Cambrian Caving Council|accessdate=23 September 2012}} 3. ^{{cite journal|last=Lewis|first=Jodie|title=The long barrows and long mounds of West Mendip|journal=Proc Univ Bristol Speleol Soc |year=2008 |volume=24 |issue=3 |pages=192 |url=http://www.ubss.org.uk/resources/proceedings/vol24/UBSS_Proc_24_3_187-206.pdf|format=PDF|accessdate=23 September 2012}} 4. ^{{cite web|title=Pen Hill Longbarrow|url=http://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=15318|publisher=Megalithic Portal|accessdate=23 September 2012}} 5. ^{{cite book |last=Firth |first=Hannah |authorlink= |coauthors= |title=Mendip from the air |year=2007 |publisher=Somerset County Council |location=Taunton |isbn=978-0-86183-390-0 }} 3 : Mendip Hills|Scheduled Ancient Monuments in Mendip District|Hills of Somerset |
