Montem Mound is a motte situated at Salt Hill in Upton-cum-Chalvey, Buckinghamshire, dating to the Norman period following the conquest of 1066. The earthwork comprises a substantial mound typical of early Norman defensive fortifications, constructed to command the surrounding landscape and settle Norman authority in the region. Salt Hill itself acquired additional historical significance during the early modern period as a meeting place and gathering ground, though the motte represents the primary medieval military feature. The monument survives as a scheduled ancient monument and represents an important example of Norman settlement archaeology in Buckinghamshire.
