Botley Stone is a ring cairn situated on Churchmoor Hill, approximately 600 metres north-west of Churchmoor Farm in Shropshire. The monument dates to the Bronze Age and represents a form of funerary monument common to the period, consisting of a circular arrangement of stones with a central burial or ritual deposit. The site survives as an upstanding earthwork and stone feature, though like many Bronze Age cairns it has been subject to degradation and disturbance over time. Such ring cairns form an important part of the prehistoric monumental landscape of Shropshire and the wider English midlands.
