Date Added: 24th Nov 2013
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Shropshire)
Visited: Yes
Bodbury Ring submitted by TimPrevett on 24th Apr 2004. A small univallate hillfort, survivng from the Iron Age as a ring with a commanding view across the area. It possibly incorporates an earlier cross dyke.

The Stiperstones
Date Added: 24th Nov 2013
Site Type: Cairn
Country: England (Shropshire)
Visited: Yes
The Stiperstones submitted by TimPrevett on 28th Jun 2004. A cairn just north east of Manstone Rock.
"The Stiperstones" is the name for a hill on the far west reaches of Shropshire, well into The Welsh Marches, overlooking the Welsh border. It is the second highest hill in Shropshire, affording superb views in all directions, and having several bronze age cairns along its ridge.
The cairns themselves, excepting the largest, can be quite hard to locate. At a very reductionist level, they are basically piles of stone amidst a whole ridge of piles of...

Caer Caradoc (Church Stretton)
Date Added: 24th Nov 2013
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Shropshire)
Visited: Yes
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.

The Wrekin
Date Added: 24th Nov 2013
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Shropshire)
Visited: Yes
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.
