Fire on a hill that can be seen from a distance (6)

I believe the answer is:

beacon

(Other definitions for beacon that I've seen before include "Shining light (on top of a hill?)" , "Radio transmitter for positioning" , "Hilltop signal fire" , "Signal light on hill" , "Warning fire or signal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
