The Giant's Well (Kinver)
Date Added: 26th Sep 2015
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Staffordshire)
Visited: Would like to visit
The Giant's Well (Kinver) submitted by TimPrevett on 23rd Sep 2007. The pathetic remains of The Giant's Well on the corner of Heather Drive and Stone Lane resemble a rusted iron urinal and ruined barbeque surround. In 2000 there were moves to have it renovated, but the effort and expense (something like £50,000) were deemed too excessive. The Giant's Well links in with the folklore of the nearby Rock Shelters, Kinver Edge, and the long destroyed Boltstone, which was lobbed by an enraged giant who noticed another flirtatious giant had visited his wife during the...

The Leper Well
Date Added: 26th Sep 2015
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Staffordshire)
Visited: Would like to visit
The Leper Well submitted by TimPrevett on 4th Aug 2007. The Leper Well sits on the south side of Whitehouse Lane between Codsall and Codsall Wood, behind a wooden fence which prohibits access. A visit out of season may tell more of the location, with less obfuscating foliage. Two hawthorns are on the SE side of the well.

The Plague Stone
Date Added: 21st Aug 2011
Site Type: Ancient Cross
Country: England (Cheshire)
Visited: Yes on 21st Aug 2011. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 5
The Plague Stone submitted by Vicky on 18th Oct 2001. THE PLAGUE STONE , Higher Sutton, near Macclesfield SJ9561469227
This wayside cross, possibly a Christianised standing stone, was apparently the place where goods were left by the healthy for sale to the plague-stricken. The latter took the goods and left the money in a pot of water. Interestingly the 1904 OS map shows an isolation hospital located near by.

The Winking Man submitted by TimPrevett on 5th Nov 2006. The Winking Man - a natural convincing anthropomorphic rock formation on Ramshaw Rocks at SK 02021 62362. This is in North Staffordshire on the west side of the Leek - Buxton Road. The route immediately below the rock outcrops is on a Roman Road, and remains one of the most accident prone deadly A roads in the country. Parking is to west of the Rocks (good layby at SK 01746 62012), then a fairly easy walk up to near the summit, and the Winking Man is on the east side. Tripping hazards and drops...

The Wrekin
Date Added: 16th Aug 2011
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Shropshire)
Visited: Yes on 14th Aug 2011. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4
The Wrekin submitted by TimPrevett on 2nd Jan 2005. Lookin to the North East, between the outer and inner ramparts of The Wrekin.
The path enters the inturned ramparts to the central area; the trig point and toposcope sit upon a Bronze Age Cairn, which is hardly in evidence.
Another, more slight rampart is visible to the left of the picture, before the hill becomes more rounded.
See main entry - click on the blue text to the left of the picture for more information.

Date Added: 12th Aug 2014
Site Type: Round Barrow(s)
Country: England (Staffordshire)
Visited: Yes on 5th May 2014. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 4 Access 3
Log Text: Site is located on private land with no footpath access to site. However, both sets of field walls between the public footpath lower down the hill and the site are down for some reason there is nothing to prevent anyone from climbing to the top of the hill at the moment.

Site Type: Round Barrow(s)
Country: England (Staffordshire)
Visited: Yes on 5th May 2014. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 4
Log Text: Footpaths run along the hillside above the site and along the valley floor below. Mutilation on the mound reveals natural rock, so the barrow may merge with a natural feature. Sheep using the hollow on the top of the barrow as a bed when I visited.

Webb Stone submitted by TimPrevett on 5th Jan 2004. The Webb Stone
SJ881177
There is not one stone in Bradley (pronounced Braid-lee), not two, but three! In the parish church of All Saints (which is on the highest part of the village, and is thought likely to be a Christianised pagan site), there is a local guidebook, "A Chronicle of Bradeley - The Story of an English Village 1000-2000AD" by William & Anne Wilkinson. Despite its subtitle, page 5 does have entries on its monuments prior to 1000AD.
These stones are in fact "glacial erratics...
