An information board (elsewhere in the Cathedral) states : 'For centuries the Hedda Stone sat outside and was thought to mark the grave of Abbot Hedda (hence the... Read More |

Sad to say that the visit left me underwhelmed.
The invasive rhododendrons comletely covered the right hand side of the chamber. The inside of the chamber was cluttered with briars,weeds and undergrowth,making access to it nigh on impossible.

I believe that the site is (was?) managed by Cannock Chase District Council -if this is still the case then they need to get up there... Read More |

Since my last attempt,i've got hold of a copy of the 1965-7 map which clearly shows the Earthwork. However!! 50 years on (unsurprisingly) the minor ... Read More |

Good remains of the inner rampart ditch and counterscarp bank on the west side - just a few steps away from the modern lane. There is a suggestion that the lane might have been the site of another ditch but i've ... Read More |

| Devil's Ring and Finger | Holed Stone | England | Staffordshire | Visited | 30th Mar 2018 | 2 | 3 | 3 | Easier to find than I thought.

| Bradgate Hunt's Hill Stone | Standing Stone (Menhir) | England | Leicestershire and Rutland | Visited | 17th Mar 2018 | 5 | 3 | 4 | Debate over whether this site is a genuine standing stone or something some rogue Boy Scouts erected (if so then i hope they got a badge for it?!). Very easy to find : 2 to 3 minute walk behind the toilet block as described elsewhere! | ||

| Nordy Bank | Hillfort | England | Shropshire | Visited | 9th May 2015 | 3 | 4 | 3 | Visited as part of walk around the Clee Hills. Amazing views - you can see why the hillfort was built here.

A good site up on the promontory for a fort but now very liitle to see and virtualy no ambience whatsoever.

| Wychbury Camp | Hillfort | England | Worcestershire | Visited | 9th Mar 2014 | 4 | 4 | 3 | Appeared to be 3 ramparts and ditches running most of the way between the East and South West entances. Both entrances are inturned with the East one being a paticularly good example. Site also has approx 20+ yew trees growing both inside the fort and on its ramparts and in the ditches. | ||
