Anwick Drake Stones submitted by Andy B on 2nd Apr 2010. The Drake Stones
Two lumps of Spilsby sandstone by the gate to St.Edith’s church known as “The Drake Stones” … actually a glacial erratic, but with a considerably more interesting Lincolnshire folk tale explanation.
Long ago, a man ploughing a field north of the church saw his horses and plough mysteriously disappear into the ground and a dragon (drake) flew out. Next day when the villagers returned to the spot they found a stone shaped like a drakes head and thought there must be...

Oldox Camp submitted by Bladup on 22nd Apr 2013. There are 2 humps here that seem like the natural entrance to Oxton camp, the one in the picture is the slightly bigger one [called Robin Hood's Pot] and the start of the other is going out the photo on the left, I think they're natural but one has a little barrow on it.

Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: England (Shropshire)
Visited: Yes
Carreg y Big (Shropshire) submitted by TimPrevett on 22nd Jul 2004. This shows the stone just in front of the meeting of the three boundaries.
"The Big Stone", as this translates, is as about as Welsh as it can be whilst still just in England! The Welsh border is not far, and Offa's Dyke makes its presence felt less than a mile away.
The stone is on a south facing slope, leaning to the west, at the meeting of three boundaries - a fine example of a hoarstone, or boundary stone. The stone is carbonifeous limestone, and 6 feet tall by 4 by 3 approx. There is ...

Whittington Castle submitted by TimPrevett on 16th Dec 2003. SJ 325313. A barrow-like mound (possibly re-used barrow) at Whittington Castle - not disimilar from ones at Little Moreton Hall in Cheshire, or Boscobel House further east in Shropshire, near the Staffs border. A woman we spoke with here said that soil-core tests done here date contemporary with Old Oswestry Hillfort; she was adamant that the inhabitants of the fort actually dwellt here, and only moved to the fort in times of threat.
