Burrow Hill Camp (Shropshire)

]]>What an interesting outline, and some beautiful photos on our page too, have a look. This hillfort is another Shropshire defended hilltop well worth a visit. two springs, three entrances, and four sets of ramparts and ditches around most of the circumference make for an engaging visit. It is wonderfully sited, with rewards for the long ascent - the fantastic views. The fort is shaped like a pear, or tear, around the natural contours of the hill, being narrower on the west side. To the north west side there is only one ditch, and two ramparts, as this is the steepest side of the hill.

]]>A large univallate hillfort in Shropshire in a naturally strong defensive position on a steep sided spur at the north end of the Stiperstones ridge. Access is only along the ridge/spur. Most walkers on the Stiperstones route never visit Castle Ring, which is a shame as its situation is quite dramatic, with views across to many other hillforts in the area.

Mitchell's Fold

]]>Orpbit writes: The Lion Roared at Mitchell's Fold stone circle on the Equinox and I roared back. After 14 years of researching the site I finally got the one image I really wanted. More details in our forum and corroborating simulation images now added to this page by David Hoyle . 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 excellent new comic-strip format book about the discovery and challenges of interpretation of a petroglyph found, disturbed, in the entrance passage way of this Middle Iron Age hillfort. This hillfort sits on top of a sandstone escarpment overlooking the Shropshire Plain. It is a D shaped fort with double-ditched inner and outer ramparts. Lower down the page are photos from this year’s dig, including one of the excavators drawing a patch of ancient pavement
