Mitchell's Fold is a Bronze Age stone circle in southwest Shropshire at a height of 353 metres AOD [1]. The stone circle, a standing stone, and a cairn comprise a Scheduled Ancient Monument; the circle is in the guardianship of English Heritage [1]. The name of the circle may derive from 'micel' or 'mycel', Old English for 'big', referring to the size of this large circle [1]. Its doleritic stones came from nearby Stapeley Hill [1]. Many of them are now missing and others are fallen [1].
