Holywell Brook (Rorrington)
Date Added: 6th Apr 2025
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Shropshire)
Visited: Yes on 1st Apr 2025. My rating: Condition 1 Ambience 5 Access 3
Holywell Brook (Rorrington) submitted by TimPrevett on 12th Jul 2005. On the far north end of Stapeley Hill, two springs close to each other emanate from the hillside, converging into one brook.
For centuries these springs were venerated, even as late as the 19th Century. On Holy Thursday, there would be a procession here, and the springs decorated and dressed. Ritual dropping of pins into the water, drinking of a brew made from water and sugar, and eating of cakes were observed. All this followed by a fair in Rorrington village itself.

Giant's Grave (Shropshire)
Date Added: 6th Apr 2025
Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen
Country: England (Shropshire)
Visited: Yes on 1st Apr 2025. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 4 Access 1
Giant's Grave (Shropshire) submitted by TimPrevett on 21st Jan 2006. Picture is at the front of the recess into the hill, known as Giant's Grave, or Cave,which has been postulated as a possible dolmen. We thought that very unlikely, though with stones across the entrance, a shelter for the living seemed more possible as the hill blocks the prevailing SW, or W winds. The landowner seemed delighted with our visit, and gave us permission, and as much information as he knew.

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. They were all found to be of dolerite, a vein of which runs through the area. Two miles to the south was the Cwm Mawr dolerite stone axe factor...

Castle Ring (Rorrington) submitted by TimPrevett on 12th Jul 2005. One of a number of monuments called Castle Ring; this one near Rorrington just north west of Stapeley Hill.
Just one ring surrounds this hilltop, with glorious views. Access is not obvious, so follow the route on the map, and when going through the wood, mind your footing. Tripping hazards abound.
A lovely remote place. Even though, while I was here on midsummer eve, a man on a quad bike came riding on a track to the south. If I recall correct, he was the brother of the landowner. We discuss...

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.

Site Type: Ring Cairn
Country: England (Shropshire)

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. Ring cairns are very rare in Shropshire, and given that all other burial monuments upon The Long Mynd are barrows comprised of earth (some with varying degrees of stones or kerbing surviving) of, this ring cairn is...
