Annursnac Hill is located in Concord, Massachusetts. It is the highest point in the town at 361 ft.[1] Early settlers herded swine near the base of the hill and referred to the area as the “hog pens.”[2] Harvard University purchased land on the north side of the hill in 1949 for antenna research. 118 acres were bought by the Town of Concord in 1970.[3] Part of the area was developed into private residences while a majority of the land north of the hill became conservation land.[3]
