Mont Cassel
Coordinates: 50°28′49″N 2°17′30″E / 50.4802°N 2.2918°E
Mont Cassel (Dutch: Kasselberg) is a hill in Northern France, in the Nord department. The hill rises to a height of 176 metres (577 ft) above sea level, making it the highest of the Westhoek region. At the top of Mont Cassel is the commune of Cassel (Dutch: Kassel), about 30 kilometres (19 mi) from the North Sea. Its geological composition comprises limestone capped with a very hard ferruginous layer of rock.
History
During the late Iron Age the hill of Cassel was inhabited by the Menapii, a Belgic tribe, who made the hill-top settlement the capital of a large territory extending from modern Calais to as far as the Rhine. The hilltop was probably used as an oppidum or hill fort. The Menapii were absorbed into the Roman province of Gallia Belgica in the first century B.C. Cassel was redeveloped as Castellum Menapiorum, the urban centre or civitas of the Menapii. The modern town and hill take their name from the Roman settlement.
