Morgan's Mount is a tower on the north side of Chester's city walls that served as a lookout platform during the English Civil War. It is the first tower along the walls west of the North Gate. It takes its name from a gun battery located outside the present walls, commanded by Captain Edward Morgan during the Civil War.
