Caer Caradoc (Welsh: Caer Caradog, the fort of Caradog) is a hill in the English county of Shropshire [1]. Caer Caradoc rises sharply out of a narrow valley known as the Stretton Gap [1]. It is the highest point on a high, narrow, northeast–southwest "whaleback ridge", sometimes called a hogsback ridge [1]. The summit has an Ancient British Iron Age or late Bronze Age hill fort [1]. It is this which the hill is named after – Caer Caradog in Welsh meaning Caradog's fort [1].
