Bury Walls
Date Added: 17th Sep 2010
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Shropshire)
Visited: Yes on 17th May 2010
Bury Walls submitted by Andy B on 17th May 2010. The earthworks of Bury Walls hillfort. Almost all the earthworks are tree-covered, the area having been planted with forestry in the 1950s. This makes them rather hard to see in detail.
It's possible to walk most of the way around the top of the ramparts, although the track is narrow and overgrown in one or two places.

Harters Hill submitted by Andy B on 16th Aug 2007. Harters Hill excavation - The remains of a late Bronze Age ritual alignment of oak piles and small stakes surrounded by masses of worked wood, that was built in a wetland in 1076 BC. Desiccation has caused the overlying peat deposits to oxidise, shrink and waste away until the ground surface has reached the tops of the oak piles. Now the wooden structure itself is beginning to be damaged by desiccation. Photo copyright Somerset County Council.
