Morgan's Mount

Morgan's Mount is a structure extending from the north side of the city walls of Chester, in Cheshire, England.

[1] It was constructed in 1645 during the siege of Chester in the Civil War as an observation platform and gun emplacement.

[1][2] After the Battle of Rowton Heath in September of that year, a gun on the Mount was destroyed by Parliamentary forces.

Two flights of five steps lead up to the roof, which has a stone parapet surmounted by an iron railing.

[1] At the base of the tower is a life size sculpture representing the civil war cannon destroyed.
