Pickhill Moated Mound Artificial Mound View all content for Pickhill Moated Mound

"A large artificial mound here, apparently raised for defensive purposes, bears the name of Picts' Hill, and an improbable belief prevails that the Picts defeated the Romans in battle at a spot, not far off, called Roman Castle. This mound is also known as Money Hill, but, though partially cut away for the construction of the railway, the traditionary hidden treasure was not found." Bulmer's History and Directory of North Yorkshire (1890)
