About

Stapeley Hill is a sacred saddleback shaped hill in south-west Shropshire, near the village of Priestweston, not far from another landmark, Corndon Hill. The hill is home to the Mitchell's Fold stone circle.[1] Along the path leading from the Fold across Stapeley Common stand the Cow Stone [2] (a single standing stone or menhir) and the Stapeley Hill Ring Cairn.[3][4] There are two Bronze Age cairns at or near the summit; such round cairns are also a common feature of Welsh mountain summits. The hill rises to an elevation of 403 metres (1,322 ft), and lies in the civil parish of Chirbury with Brompton.
