Shooting Box Disc Barrow
Date Added: 24th Nov 2013
Site Type: Round Barrow(s)
Country: England (Shropshire)
Visited: Yes
Shooting Box Disc Barrow submitted by TimPrevett on 25th Apr 2004. The best, most obvious barrow remaining on The Long Mynd, and the sole known example of a disc barrow in Shropshire.
It covers a circular area some 170 feet in diameter, with an outer raised heather-covered ring circa 15 feet wide, and the inner green mound 60 feet across and up to 8 feet high.
It is so named due a grouse shooting box that was on its northern side until 1992; it now leaves a large depression in the green mound, with a similar depression on the east side, suggesting another...

Log Text: Been here so many times. Grew up in Stretton and still go back there walking over the Long Mynd very often. Always stop to have a sit and a coffee whenever I go past it.
The hut got removed due to drug addicts using it. Or so everybody in Stretton says.
You can park right next to the barrow however the road up from Church Stretton is up the Burway which is a terrifying road (I've seen 3 cars come off the Burway and roll down into Cardingmill Valley). The other way to park next to it is to come up the other side of the Mynd, near Ratlinghope, up past the Bridges pub.
Otherwise, you can come up on the other road (you can get to the road from Leebotwood, join it from the road above Inwood, or you can get to it from the Bridges pub too) and park by Duckley Nap. It's then about 10 to 15 minutes walk to the Shooting Box. One of the pluses of parking at Duckley Nap is that it's by the Robin Hood's Butts barrows. Also, on the path from there to the Shooting Box you will walk past another round barrow (I believe it's Long Mynd C as listed on megalithic.)
Alternatively, in the summer you can catch the shuttle bus up to the Shooting Box. Or if you want a really good walk, you can walk to it from Stretton.
