Description
Garden feature, erected c.1890, comprising terraced grass-covered mound with flights of steps to terraces, and cross to summit. Forms part of environs of convent.
Appraisal
A garden feature enhancing the setting of the neighbouring convent and chapel. While it is not depicted on Ordnance Survey maps until after the construction of the convent, local folklore suggests it may have been a Norman motte, although archaeological excavations in 2005 did not reveal any archaeological material associated it.
