3 of the 4 Summer Shropshire Archaeology walks include or go very near prehistoric sites. See the main text for more details and links to some of the sites to be visited.


9th June Selattyn Hill. A Bronze Age ritual site, post-medieval settlement remains, and a 19th century belvedere and WWII Home Guard look-out post. NB: This walk has steep climbs and some rough ground. (Meet at Craignant Quarry picnic site, OS map ref:SJ 253 349)

23rd June The Stiperstones. 19th-century mining remains & a post-medieval squatter settlement. NB: This walk has steep climbs and some rough ground. (Meet in the car park by Snailbeach Village Hall, OS map ref SJ 373 022. Note this is to the Northern end of the Stiperstones, and does not include the cairns linked to.

7th July Stapeley Common. Explore a prehistoric ritual landscape of stone circles, barrows, and field systems. (Meet by the reservoir at The Marsh, OS map ref SO 301 977.

One assumes this must include Mitchell's Fold and the many sites in that area. This is the most prehistoric content of any of the walks, and covers the same ground as some of the Shropshire Megalithic Meet on June 11th & 12th.

Small charge for the Shropshire Archaeology walks. For more details visit the Shropshire Archaeology Website
