Bury Mount, Medieval castle mound in Towcester, United Kingdom.
Bury Mount consists of a raised earthwork mound that served as the foundation for a fortification structure overlooking the surrounding Towcester landscape.
The castle mound dates back to the 12th century when it formed part of Towcester's medieval defenses following the Norman methods of fortification construction.
The restoration of Bury Mount earned national recognition, receiving a prestigious Museums and Heritage Award in 2011 for its preservation efforts.
Visitors can access the site via a newly constructed ramp and stairway, with seating areas available throughout the carefully maintained grounds.
A circular path around the mount displays a timeline of Towcester's history, connecting the medieval structure to the broader story of the region.
