The monument at Athelney commemorates King Alfred the Greats occupation of the monastery and fort here in the late 800's. He is said to have hidden here when the rest of England was occupied by the Danes, Athelney at that time was a low-lying island within the Somerset levels. Alfred later raised an army and defeated the occupying forces at the battle of Edington in May 878.

The 43m high monument was built in 1767 to commemorate Sir William Pynsent, of the Pynsent Baronets. It was designed by Capability Brown for William Pitt. Legend has it that it was for his support on defeating the cider tax and is therefore locally known as the cider monument.

The prominent hill at Burrow Mump rises from the Somerset Levels, overlooking Southlake Moor in the village of Burrowbridge. It is a scheduled monument, and the ruined church on top of the hill is a Grade II listed building.
