Rockhill Iron Age Enclosure
Rockhill Iron Age Enclosure submitted by TheWhiteRider : Part of the earthwork (Vote or comment on this photo)
Misc. Earthwork in Shropshire

A small, roughly circular, enclosure comprising a single low bank and affording excellent views to the South.

Caer Caradoc (Chapel Lawn) is clearly visible from this location.

Easily accessible as a footpath runs right by it and there is ample room on the Pen-Y-Wern to Rockhill road to park up. The Pen-Y-Wern stone circle/cairn and standing stone are nearby.

I scanned my eyes over every mole hill on Bury Ditches on one visit there, as you say, ever hopeful.
