Bishop's Wood
Date Added: 2nd Jan 2019
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Staffordshire)
Visited: Couldn't find on 29th Dec 2018. My rating: Access 3
Log Text: Tried again to find this site. Thought that by late December the bracken and briars would have died back enough to try to find/access the site -wrong!
Since my last attempt,i've got hold of a copy of the 1965-7 map which clearly shows the Earthwork. However!! 50 years on (unsurprisingly) the minor path (off the forest trackway) leading to/through the earhtworks has been totaly engulfed by bracken/briars.With fallen trees and dense tree growth also obscuring the ground/sightlines it makes the promontory hill fort hard to locate. I know i was closer to it than my last visit but did i actually locate/stand within the hillfort - No!
Very frustrating. Perhaps another visit,once winter has bitten harder.Third time lucky maybe?!
Bishop's Wood
Date Added: 11th Sep 2018
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Staffordshire)
Visited: Couldn't find on 30th Mar 2018
Log Text: On the scant info available i tried for the best part of 2 hours to locate the site! Using the map references I could find absolutely nothing on the ground ie bank's, ditches etc.
On the way back through the woods and at a different location/map coordinates I did see what could possibly have been the re entrant gully and 2 rather silted up ditches but the rest of the topography didn't fit the Hill Fort description I had. So overall I have to say that I didn't find it!
If anyone out there has any further info as to where exactly to locate this fort - please let me know.

Log Text: Visited again and pleased to report that the gates to the Lady Chapel were open - thus allowing unrestricted access to the Hedda Stone.
An information board (elsewhere in the Cathedral) states : 'For centuries the Hedda Stone sat outside and was thought to mark the grave of Abbot Hedda (hence the name) and 83 monks killed by Vikings in 870'

One of the oak trees here (with the white paint) has one of its roots hanging down into the cave, which can be seen looking like a hairy stalactite.
