Mitchell's Fold

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mitchell's Fold (sometimes called Medgel's Fold) is a stone circle in South-West Shropshire, located on Stapeley Hill, near the village of Priestweston.

As with most sites of this type, its true history is unknown. However, there is a traditional story about a marvellous Dun cow that gave unlimited amounts of milk. A malicious witch milked the cow into a sieve, as a result of which it disappeared and was never seen again. As a punishment, the witch was turned into stone, surrounded by other stones to prevent her escaping.
