A "moot hill" is a Saxon meeting place. They used a natural hillock, artificial hill or older barrow. Often contacted to "Mutlow" and shown as such on maps - from Moot-hlaw. "hlaw" was a word generally applied to a sacred mound and frequently appears as "----low" eg Harlow near me is named after a Roman tumulus that was used as a Saxon meeting place for the "Here" which can mean army or host. There are two Mutlows at least in Essex.

Fanx ES!

Kirby Muxloe in Leics too mebbe? (Though never been there despite having lived in Leicester, so dunno if it's likely.)
