Cow Stone (Shropshire) submitted by baz on 19th Jan 2003. The Cow Stone or "Dead Cow". SO308988.
Approx. 400 yards N.E. of Mitchells Fold stone circle, beside the path leading from the circle to Stapeley Hill, lies the Cow Stone, or "Dead Cow". In the 1920s, chippings were analyzed from this stone, one from Mitchells Fold and four from the Hoarstones stone circle, which lies just over one mile away to the N.E.

Botley Stone submitted by TimPrevett on 16th May 2004. Picture shows the ring cairn in the foreground, looking north into the forest.
Botley Stone is classified as the remains of a Bronze Age ring cairn. What is visible now, is a hollowed out grass ring; upon closer inspection a good number of angular rocks are visible under the grass.

Caer Caradoc (Church Stretton)
Date Added: 12th Apr 2022
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Shropshire)
Visited: Yes on 12th Apr 2022. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 5 Access 2
Caer Caradoc (Church Stretton) submitted by TimPrevett on 28th Jun 2004. Caer Caradoc, taken from a northwest angle on a lovely summer's morning. Indeed, this offers some formidable defense. If this were the place of Caratacus' last stand against the Romans, this would have indeed been something difficult to conquer, even by Roman standards. However, there is no evidence to confirm this suggestion.

Pontesford Hill submitted by TimPrevett on 29th Jun 2004. Find a hill in Shropshire, and it likely has a hillfort upon it! In this picture are two hillforts - Earl's Hill Camp (a rampart can be seen upon the right hand side of the top hill), and Pontesford Hill hillfort, covered by trees now. Taken on the move on the A488 looking south.
