In heraldry, a mount (also mountain, hill, hillock) is a representation of a hill or mountain as a curved terrace in base. When the mount is included in the lower part of the shield, it may be considered an ordinary rather than a charge. A trimount, also described as a mount mounted, or shapournet shapourned, is a representation of a mount with three tops. For mounts with more than three tops, the number of tops is blazoned as coupeaux (e.g. a mount with six coupeaux).
