What is recorded here
Mount Cop, Castle is a medieval motte in Wrexham, Wales, where a raised earthwork still marks the spot though the wooden structures have long since rotted into soil. The mound may have supported a watchtower or a lord's hall, giving its keeper a clear view across the valley while exposing them to storm and siege alike. Its simplicity is striking: a hill shaped by human hands, now returning quietly to the landscape.
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Mount Cop, Castle as Motte from the Medieval period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
