The Mount was a football stadium in Catford, located in the south west corner of what later became Mountsfield Park. Football was played there as early as the mid 19th century. Catford Southend F.C. (founded c1900) used this as their home ground and eventually developed the land into a proper stadium with terracing, and it also hosted Charlton Athletic games in the 1923–1924 season. Unusually, the stadium was elevated above its surroundings, which may have given rise to its name (as well as it being a truncation of 'Mountsfield').
