Mitchell's Fold Stone Circle

Mitchell's Fold Stone Circle
Church Stoke, United Kingdom (GB)
Mitchell's Fold is a Bronze Age stone circle in Shropshire, UK. In the beginning, there may have been some thirty stone pillars. The survivors that still stand range in height from 10ins to 6 ft 3 in (1.91 m), and stand in an ellipse 89 ft (27 m) NW-SE by 82 ft (25 m) The tallest is at the south-east end of the major axis, standing, perhaps by coincidence or design, close to the line of the southern moonrise. This pillar and a companion have been taken to flank an entrance about 6 ft (1.8 m) wide.

The site is a scheduled ancient monument and owned and looked after by English Heritage.
