Site Type: Museum
Country: England (Shropshire)
Visited: Yes on 13th Dec 2003
Secret Hills Discovery Centre submitted by TimPrevett on 13th Dec 2003. SO435825. This impressive exhibition is a millenium project worth singing about. A museum to demonstrate the wonders of an outstanding area of England so little known about. Hence the secret hills bit.
This covers archaeology, geology, wildlife, folklore, and local arts & crafts.
The full size skeleton of the Condover Mammoth is there to worry or delight children!
Of interest to the megarak is much on lumps & bumps in the area; a simulated balloon ride of many of the hillforts in the a...

Sainter's Dolmen
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Rock Outcrop
Country: England (Staffordshire)
Visited: Yes on 5th Apr 2007
Sainter's Dolmen submitted by TimPrevett on 5th Apr 2007. In 1878, JD Sainter recorded a number of antiquities in the area. Besides the Bawdstone further east, was this rock outcrop, which he regarded as a dolmen having a robbed out cist. The rocks look nearly identical now, as they did 130 years ago in his sketch of the stones.

Saint Bertram's Cave
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Cave or Rock Shelter
Country: England (Staffordshire)
Visited: Yes on 7th Aug 2006
Saint Bertram's Cave submitted by TimPrevett on 7th Aug 2006. The situation of St Bertram's Cave - under the massif of Beeston Tor, and only accessible when the river bed has dried out. This photo is taken having walked about 1/2 mile along the riverbed. The cave is to the right (not visible here; other photos coming), but is easily missed. Speaking with a Brummie chap who's been coming to the area for some time, and my having left the area, his description of the cave I found didn't match. However, even the Trent & Peak Archaeological Trust couldn't agree...

This is the view of the north east side.

Country: England (Northumberland)
Visited: Yes on 18th May 2010
Roughting Linn Hillfort submitted by TimPrevett on 18th May 2010. These ramparts defining an Iron Age promontory fort are very easy to find - just off the track leading up to Goatscrag Hill, and near the more visited Neolithic Rock Art - from where they are clearly visible. 10/04/10

Robin Hood's Tump
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Round Barrow(s)
Country: England (Cheshire)
Visited: Yes on 26th Nov 2003
Robin Hood's Tump submitted by TimPrevett on 26th Nov 2003. Robin Hood's Tump SJ575599 - the remains of a bowl or round barrow (National Monuments Record gives it as a bowl barrow), over a possible settlement, not far off the A51 near Tilstone Fearnall.
The access was surprisingly good - on a very wide corner, giving plenty of space for unobtrustive parking. Largely unremarkable, given no burials have been found here, but as I have spent longer, and searched harder trying to find much less, this was a rewarding bump to find!
Given the heavy tree ...

Robin Hood's Stride
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Rock Outcrop
Country: England (Derbyshire)
Visited: Yes on 1st Feb 2004
Robin Hood's Stride submitted by TimPrevett on 1st Feb 2004. The remains of an earthwork in the field immediately E of Robin Hood's Stride.
Two parallel embankments, with ditch in the middle, enter the picture on the left, going nearly across the whole image, then curve to the left in front of the brown dead bracken among Cratcliffe Rocks. There is nearly a complete circle visible when following the earthwork.

Robin Hood's Chair
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Shropshire)
Visited: Yes on 28th Oct 2004
Robin Hood's Chair submitted by TimPrevett on 28th Oct 2004. Most definetly nothing left here, at least obviously! In places, dense tree growth, plenty of bracken, certainly some mounds - but impossible to tell.
A precipitous drop into a quarry to the south east lends credence that the mounds that are there are due to quarry spoil, and nothing ancient.
This is one of seven locations for possible Shropshire stone circles, besides the two known circles.
See main entry for more details.

Robin Hood's Butts (Shropshire)
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Round Barrow(s)
Country: England (Shropshire)
Visited: Yes on 25th Apr 2004
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...

Rhos y Gelynen Stones
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Row / Alignment
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 15th Aug 2008
Rhos y Gelynen Stones submitted by TimPrevett on 15th Aug 2008. Three standing stones, two prostrate, and one partially buried lie in a row west-south-west to east-north-east. A long walk for this, good footwear imperative. Best reached by first visiting the stones at Cefn Llanerchi near the masts and aerials, then cutting a line out west to reach a track which runs past them. Any lower approach ends up being horrendously boggy.
