	Land lighthouse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A land lighthouse is simply a lighthouse constructed to aid navigation over land, rather than water.
		One example of such a structure is Dunston Pillar, an 18th century tower built to help travellers crossing the heathland of mid-Lincolnshire and to lessen the danger to them from highwaymen.
		Due to general improvements in transport and navigation throughout the 19th century, land lighthouses became almost totally obsolete as aids to travellers in remote places.
