The Mount ringwork at Alderton

The National Heritage List for England records The Mount ringwork at Alderton as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

The Mount ringwork at Alderton is a small, circular earthwork enclosure, typical of early-medieval ringforts or raths, though its precise date remains uncertain. Local tradition and folklore associate it with protective or otherworldly significance, as is common with such sites in Celtic and later English folklore.
