{"product_id":"prehistoric-hillforts-in-southeast-shropshire-bernard-oconnor-9781447744498","title":"Prehistoric Hillforts in Southeast Shropshire","description":"In the mid-1980s I attended a course on the Archaeology of Shropshire in which I studied some of the prehistoric hillforts found in the county. Little did I know how useful this was when I retired to the Clee Hills in the late-2010s. Studying the local Ordnance Survey maps and walking in the hills of Southeast Shropshire I noticed how many had prehistoric sites on the top. Having researched the geology, archaeology and history of the Clee Hills, I thought I would investigate the hillforts. Using 19th and early 20th century maps, history and archaeology books, archaeological reports, newspaper articles, documents in the local archives and websites, I have been able to produce a documentary history, a gazetteer of sixteen hillforts including The Burgs, Bayston Hill; Stevenshill, Cound; The Wrekin, Little Wenlock; The Lawley (Lower), Longnor; The Lawley (Summit), Longnor; Caer Caradoc (Church Stretton); The Ditches (Mogg Forest), Rushbury; Norton Camp, Culmington; Caynham Camp, Ludlow; Knowle (Hope Bagot); Nordy Bank, Clee St Margaret; Titterstone Clee, Bitterley; Abdon Burf, Abdon; Clee Burf, Clee St Margaret; Burf Castle, Quatford and Chesterton Wall, Worfield.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bernard O'Connor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1447744497\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781447744498\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lulu.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/16\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 308\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.09lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.84d","brand":"Bernard O'Connor","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48065602191615,"sku":"9781447744498","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f677c7e2-cff5-4443-83e0-114539ee2d36.jpg?v=1768676062","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/prehistoric-hillforts-in-southeast-shropshire-bernard-oconnor-9781447744498","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
