Steps leading to the summit of Cox's Mount from a gate on the Charlton Athletic Football Club side of Charlton Lane, adjacent to the Charlton Lane railway crossing. Cox's mount is the highest point of Gilbert's Pit, an area that was worked for fine sand from c.1780s until 1889. This former pit is now part of Maryon Park but is separated from it by an ascending spur of land that juts out in the direction of the River Thames. Evidence has been uncovered in the past of a Romano-British settlement on Cox's Mount between C1st-C5th.
