A moot hill or mons placiti (statute hill) is a hill or mound historically used as an assembly or meeting place, as a moot hall is a meeting or assembly building, also traditionally to decide local issues. In early medieval Britain, such hills were used for "moots", meetings of local people to settle local business. Among other things, proclamations might be read; decisions might be taken; court cases might be settled at a moot. Although some moot hills were naturally occurring features or had been created long before as burial mounds, others were purpose-built.

  • Ein moot hill oder mons placiti (Gesetzeshügel) ist ein Hügel, der zu historischer Zeit als Versammlungsort genutzt wurde. Im frühen Mittelalter Großbritanniens wurden diese Hügel zum Abhalten von moots genutzt, also für Versammlungen der Bevölkerung eines Ortes, in denen lokale Angelegenheiten geregelt wurden. Unter anderem wurden bei einem moot Proklamationen ausgerufen, Entscheidungen getroffen und Gerichtsverhandlungen durchgeführt. Auch wenn einige moot hills ursprünglich natürliche Erhebungen darstellten oder bereits lange zuvor als Grabhügel angelegt worden waren, so wurden andere jedoch speziell für den Zweck der moots errichtet. Etliche dieser Hügel sind heute noch erkennbar, jedoch nur sehr wenige noch in Gebrauch. (de)
