A field (Tithe Schedule, No. 6) traversed by the railway, to which the ground on each side gradually slopes, but otherwise flat. Whatever mount was here must have been destroyed when the railway was constructed. A line of cottages called Mount Place, next the road on the south, preserves the name which is otherwise lost. The river Dee flows on the northern side. Edward Lhuyd, in 1699, notes ‘Coitie’r mount’ in Flint parish, and says that a mount stood there. (RCAHMW)

Gatehouse Comments

See also Chester Street Mound, a lost 'mound' in Flint which may be the mount mentioned by Lhuyd.
