EnglandThe Wrekin is a hill in east Shropshire, England [1]. It is located some five miles west of Telford [1]. Rising above the Shropshire Plain to a height of 407 metres above sea level, it is a prominent and well-known landmark [1]. The earliest mention of the Wrekin occurs in a charter of 855, as entered in a late 11th-century Worcester cartulary, spelled Wreocensetun [1]. Dinlle Wrecon, meaning the fort of Wrecon, appears as a place name in the early Welsh poems known as Canu Heledd [1].
