Pinnacle Great House Ruin (Jamaica National Heritage Trust)

Jamaica National Heritage Trust

The Jamaica National Heritage Trust, the government body responsible for protecting Jamaica's cultural heritage sites, records that Leonard Howell founded the first Rastafari community of roughly 4,500 members at Pinnacle in the hills of St. Catherine around 1940, describes the settlement's self-sufficient agriculture and its 1954 destruction by colonial authorities, and lists the site among Jamaica's protected national heritage locations.

Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier
1
The Jamaican government's own heritage protection body, tier 1, matching the tier the map gives comparable national heritage institutional records, used here for Pinnacle's founding date and its status as a protected heritage site, corroborated by D.A. Dunkley's peer reviewed history of Leonard Howell's suppression.
