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.

Caer Caradoc (Church Stretton)
Date Added: 12th Apr 2022
Site Type: Hillfort

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.

Botley Stone

Site Type: Ring Cairn
Country: England (Shropshire)
Visited: Yes on 1st Mar 2025. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 4 Access 3
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...

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...

Visited: Yes on 1st Jan 2024. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 5 Access 4
Robin Hood's Butts (Shropshire) submitted by TimPrevett on 25th Apr 2004. A pair of round barrows 150 feet apart on the northern edge of The Long Mynd, bearing the same name of many other pairs of barrows throughout England.
The best preserved barrow is 110 feet in diameter, and 12 feet high, and fairly accessible, though a trouser clad trek through the heather is necessary. Its northern edge is bisected by a field boundary. Though now defined by a barbed wire fence, the boundary is thought likely to be of prehistoric origin.
The other barrow is some 60 feet acr...

A composite shot looking towards Corndon Hill, and Mitchell's Fold (out of view).
It was snowing hard at this point on Midwinter Solstice Eve, and even I was questioning my sanity about being in this exposed, beautiful and dramatic landscape.
A biting wind meant I did not stay here for any longer than necessary to get a shot, but on subsequent trips, it will be worth spending tim...

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.
