Chester Walls. Morgan's Mount

Morgan's Mount is a structure extending from the north site of the city walls of Chester. It was constructed in 1645 during the siege of Chester in the Civil War as an observation platform and gun emplacement. The Mount is constricted in red sandstone coursed rubble, and is rectangular in shape. It contains a chamber at the level of the walkway, with barred openings to the west and the north. Two flights of five steps lead up to the roof, which has a stone parapet surmounted by an iron railing.
