The purpose of the paper is to investigate whether there were any communication systems between hill forts and beacons, i.e. a Signal System. Viewshed analysis in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) was chosen as a method of the investigation.
The results of the study indicate an existence of signal systems between both groups of subjects (hill forts and beacons) of investigation. Furthermore, the analysis suggests that the two systems together composed an extensive system, overlooking both the inland and the coast.
