context_section_description: Historically Ejer Bavnehøj was mostly known as a site for a beacon where signal-fires were lit in order to warn the military and local population if the enemy were on the way. The second part of the name, "Bavnehøj", can literally be translated into "Beacon Hill" (bavne meaning "beacon" and høj, from the Old Norse word haugr, meaning hill).
