I first came across Mitchells Fold around 12 years ago when I was still living in Shrewsbury. I had driven to the area for a walk and was startled by the impressive ring of stones, having no idea it was there. A truly magnificent, atmospheric experience, no matter the conditions.

Mitchell's Fold submitted by w650marion : Mitchell’s Fold Circle for the setting sun on the winter solstice of 2022. 25 minutes before the event we had torrential rain and dark skies! But then it cleared and it was quite lovely. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Perched on a flat shelf between Corndon Hill to the south and Stapeley Hill to the north-east, Mitchells Fold offers panoramic views towards Wales to the west. Fifteen stones remain from a possible thirty. The tallest is just short of two metres high.

An outlier is between the circle and Corndon Hill, with a cairn to the NE.

Nearby to the east were recorded three standing stones - Druid's Castle, and to the south, a ruined circle just within Powys - The Whetstones.

Note: Mitchell’s Fold circle for the setting sun on the winter solstice 2022. 25 minutes before the event was torrential rain and dark skies. But then it cleared and was quite lovely.

The mid summer sunrise in 2500BC rose directly behind the Stapeley Hill Cairn (52.5847895784542,-3.01586773097176).

There are probably lots of secrets of this circle that are less obvious than this.

Drone Aerial photography of Mitchells Fold stone circle by Andy B on Thursday, 03 November 2022
(User Info | Send a Message)
This aerial video of Mitchell’s Fold Stone Circle was taken by professional Ludlow photographer, Kevin Didlick in 2015. Kevin used a remote-controlled quadcopter fitted with a digital video camera to capture high-quality footage of the stones.



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVlXBBZWNYM

The person who commissioned the aerial photos claims they show Mitchell’s Fold Stone Circle is not ancient as the medieval ridge and furrow passes straight through it.

http://www.ludlow-eye.com/?p=1249

He also quotes Aubrey Burl: In his 2005 book A Guide to the Stone Circles of Britain, Burl obliquely remarks that - "aerial photographs have revealed mediaeval ridge-and-furrow plough-marks not only running up to the ring, but also through it as though this ‘prehistoric’ megalithic ring might postdate the Middle Ages! It does not." (My emphasis. )

So we don't think Mitchell’s Fold is a modern construction but there is something odd going on with the ridge and furrow - does anyone know?

Report on a day at Mitchell's Fold Stone Circle from the Dog Rose Trust by Andy B on Wednesday, 06 April 2011
(User Info | Send a Message)
Interpretation Day about Mitchell's Fold Stone Circle, May 15, 2002

Although this was carried out some time ago, the methods used and the lessons learned still apply. This is a report on the Interpretation Day together with recommendations for such events.

A meeting was held at Priest Weston Village Hall to discuss the best way to interpret Stapeley Hill in general and Mitchell's Fold in particular to people who are blind and visually impaired.

Nigel McDonald opened the meeting by asking the group, as he had in his initial outline of the project which has been circulated, how they would get their message across to their intended audience. The question was also asked 'what does Mitchell's Fold mean to you and how would you convey it to others, especially those who cannot see?' It was agreed that the important feature of the area was its atmosphere and the reasons for this needed to be explored.

Stephen Harding believed it was a magical place, a place where something is about to happen; Jill Mayhew stressed the sense of history and that there was always something to learn; emphasis on the long-time span was important. For Eric Sayce the starting point is myths and legends about the area, in particular the one of the cow and the witch as this can be followed up by a visit to Middleton-in-Chirbury church. James Lanyon thought that the visitor should be left alone at first to feel the atmosphere and initially make up their own minds about their feelings about it.

http://www.dogrose-trust.org.uk/project.htm?id=303

The Dog Rose Trust was founded in 1995 by an architect, Peter Howell, and an architectural historian, Julia Ionides. Its mission is to research and develop means of improving access, interpretation and understanding of the environment - rural and urban, natural and built - with a special emphasis on architecture and art, and particularly for those with visual impairments.

Re: Mitchell's Fold stone circle by Anonymous on Thursday, 04 February 2010
Up here in the snow at the start of January for the first time. I absolutely love this spot. It is very special and fits into the landscape sublimely. It feels powerful and joyous. Very very welcoming. Had fun in the temporary igloo !!
The farmer had stopped driving through the middle of it during the snow but he should not be driving through it at any time - it is a scheduled ancient monument and sacred to many people. Can anyone local try to stop him doing it? I live 100 miles away but am prepared to visit again to try to stop further damage to the site. I shall be visiting this sacred gem for the rest of my life in the certain knowledge that it will become more magnificent with every visit.

Rock on Mitchells Fold. We love you.

PS. Ambulance man still living up there . . .

Re: Mitchell's Fold Access by Anonymous on Saturday, 17 May 2008
Hi there!

I am a university student who will be undertaking the first real analysis of Mitchell's Fold as a late Neolithic stone circle for my dissertation which I am currently just beginning. I just wondered if I could have a few comments from people here about what they beleive is the significance of the circle? It would be very helpful.

Thankyou x

    I'd be interested to know the results of your analysis. Has your dissertation been published and is it available to access to read or download?

    My study is archaeoastronomical with an emphasis on the astronomy, rather than the cultural - which apart from the myths is of course almost entirely unrecorded. The astronomy tells me that the circle is intimately connected to the wider landscape. Since March 2011 I have trekked and studied some 390 square miles in general and some 40 square miles in detail. Using various methods of astronomical dating, I speculate that main activity at the site ranges from some 3500 BC to 1200 BC at which time it's main purpose was likely abandoned. That doesn't mean, of course that the Circle in totality as we see it actually existed throughout that period. More likely it evolved over a long period, requiring initially only to have been selected as an important observational location, and eventually attained cultural significance as a "sacred site".

Mitchell's Fold Access by TimPrevett on Friday, 23 February 2007
(User Info | Send a Message)
A road was sealed off after an old mine shaft collapsed on a Powys hillside. It will not reopen until early next month, say officials. A hole, around 50ft across and 30ft deep (9m by 15m), opened up at Priestweston, near Montgomery, on Sunday morning.

Take a look at this picture:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/nol/shared/spl/hi/pop_ups/07/uk_enl_1171810472/img/1.jpg

and the outline of Corndon Hill is to the rear, and the rocky outcrop near The Whetstones is visible, placing the road closure right on the corner where most folk will have come off the Shrewsbury Bishop's Castle road. Assuming car access is still achievable, a more circuitous route through Priestweston Village, or on foot across Stapeley hill, would be needed.

If you could please get in touch with me; there were five of us also at Mitchell's Fold (and Stapeley Hill) on Sunday 12th June; one of our cars was broken into and many hundreds of pounds worth of megalithic earth mysteries books, journals, hundreds of slides, and irreplaceable personal items were stolen. E-mail me shropstones@tiscali.co.uk please.

We too observed what you did; the stone was also 'covering up' fire damage from about two months ago in the centre of the circle.

Thanks
