Stapeley Hill is a sacred saddleback shaped hill in south-west Shropshire, near the village of Priestweston, not far from another landmark, Corndon Hill.
The hill is home to the Mitchell's Fold stone circle.[http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/139] Along the path leading from the Fold across Stapeley Common stand the Cow Stone [http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/3375] (a single standing stone or menhir) and the Stapeley Hill Ring Cairn.[http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/4489][http://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=10620] There are two Bronze Age cairns at or near the summit; such round cairns are also a common feature of Welsh mountain summits.
The hill rises to an elevation of {{convert|403|m|ft}}, and lies in the civil parish of Chirbury with Brompton.
