The outer ditches and bank of the settlement on The Lawley The map marks a small settlement (Iron Age?) at this point, but there&#039;s little to see except a couple of low banks, just where the dog is investigating an interesting smell.

Back along the ridge of The Lawley Gives a good impression of the true length of this narrow ridge; the summit lies on the pointy bit in the distance, and a good path runs all the way up from this NE end.

A path through Birch Coppice Nothing&#039;s marked on the maps just here, but a perfectly respectable path runs right along the ridge of Lodge Hill, following close to the old stone wall all the way to the trig, and then down the other side to eventually join the bridleways near Frodesley.

Dry stone wall near the top of Lodge Hill This wall runs the full length of the ridge from the SW, to a point past the summit trig. It&#039;s rather the worse for wear in the trees (presumably damaged in places by falling timber) but in reasonable condition up here near the top.

Fly Agaric (Amanita muscaria) in Lodgehill Coppice The quintessential mushroom, it usually appears with white spots on the cap, but these often wash off in rain, or with age. Highly poisonous, and best NOT eaten!

The end of the wall in Lodgehill Coppice The single wall runs along the ridge of the hill from the road above Chatwall, and then splits into two just beyond here; the whole construction, although once substantial, has seen better days.
