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

Rowen Hut Circles submitted by TimPrevett on 14th Apr 2004. One of three hut circles adjoining this lane, this at SH735717.
A large circular feature, marked on the map as "homestead", further listed as hut circle on CARN, dating from Iron Age to the Roman Period. In the north west corner, there is an additional circular feature. This lies a very short way indeed from the Cae Coch Menhir.
This is the view of the north east side.

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...

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.

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...

Seven Wells
Date Added: 2nd Mar 2025
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Gloucestershire)
Visited: Yes on 2nd Mar 2025. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 4 Access 5
Seven Wells submitted by KiwiBetsy on 6th Dec 2004. Seven Wells is found in the delightful village of Bisley, built into the hillside below All Saint’s Church and graveyard.
A semicircle of five gothic arched recesses account for five wells with the water arising in the hillside being channelled into a shallow stone trough and then down into a subterranean gravel bottomed pool. Two other channels emerge from each end of the structure and their water falls into deeper stone troughs before overflowing and disappearing underground. That mak...

Log Text: Seven Wells, Bisley. As the name suggests, seven apertures of water flow into a magnificent presentation on the hillside. A number of older wells to the east still have water flowing. The incongruity is the whole area is hemmed in by parked cars, fabulous for disabled access but makes appreciation more difficult. The churchyard is a peaceful nature reserve too. All a worthwhile visit and a package of fascinating places in the village.
Sevenways Cave
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Cave or Rock Shelter
Country: England (Staffordshire)
Visited: Yes on 29th Jul 2006
Sevenways Cave submitted by TimPrevett on 29th Jul 2006. The view when one descends from the ridge around the west side, and find the first obvious entrance to the cave.
Seven Ways cave - so named because of 7+ entrances into it. Sited above and to the west of Thor's Cave, it is accessed by returning to the path just before the last descent to access Thor's Cave, and then heading up! Be careful - the drops come up unexpectedly, and there are some *big* drops. Also minor shafts and limestone fissures are not infrequent, so consider your route to a...

Shooting Box Disc Barrow
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Round Barrow(s)
Country: England (Shropshire)
Visited: Yes on 25th Apr 2004
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...

Shop Farm
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Wales (Anglesey)
Visited: Yes on 2nd Jul 2002
Shop Farm submitted by TimPrevett on 2nd Jul 2002. Shop Farm SH318813
Visited Tuesday 15th June 1999
Access: Park off the A5025 Valley to Cemaes road. I had to go through a farm, so I knocked and asked permission, and was granted it very cheerfully. The field was high in thistles in places, and quite spikey. It was also a silage field, so crap was everywhere.
The stone: Relatively small - about 5 feet. Couldn't see much detail on it, as it was sprayed with silage, and iced with bird poo.
