There is little known of the large defensive earthwork in the village of Alderton, known simply as the Mount. It is believed to be a Norman fortification called a ringwork and of 11th or 12th-century date which may be on top of an earlier Saxon site . Rather than being circular it is more triangular and it is surrounded by a ditch that is 10m wide and 5m deep. The Time Team TV programme did a dig here.
