Near the summit are a series of cairns, thought to be the remains of round barrows, and the British Iron Age Bury Castle.
The round cairns have been scheduled as an ancient monument.
In the sixteenth century, Selworthy Beacon was (as its name implies) the site of a beacon to warn of impending invasions.
The mausoleum of Sir Thomas Dyke Acland is located about 0.25 miles (400 m) from Selworthy Beacon.
