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 Mitchell's Fold [1] and along the path leading from the Fold which crosses Stapeley Common, home to the [2], or single standing Stone - Menhir and the Stapeley Hill Ring Cairn [3] [4]. There are two Bronze Age cairns at or near the summit, and such round cairns are 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.
