Na vrcholu Kank se nachází krásný empírový pomník v dórském stylu, který nechal vybudovat hrabe Jan Rudolf Chotek v roce 1814. Nad památníkem je navršená mohyla a na ní stojí sedm metru vysoký kamenný sloup z kutnohorského „mušláku“ s kovovým krížem na svém vrcholku.

Nemecký nápis na pomníku pripomíná jednu kutnohorskou tragedii, kterou bylo shazování živých husitu do dulních šachet. Behem husitských válek (1419 – 1421) byla tímto zpusobem zabita katolickým vojskem až stovka husitu z Kutnohorska. Jedním z obetí se stal i kourimský farár Chuodek, kterého hrabe Chotek považoval za svého predka. A to dalo patrne impuls ke stavbe pomníku.

Ceský nápis pripomíná jedny z nejvetších hornických nepokoju proti sociálnímu útlaku v ceských zemích, které zacaly v roce 1494 a vyvrcholily o dva roky pozdeji, kdy zde byla rozprášena hornická vzpoura, jejíž predáci byli následne popraveni v Podebradech.
