Ring cairn and Selattyn Tower is a Bronze Age ceremonial monument located on Selattyn Hill in Shropshire. The site consists of a ring cairn, a circular arrangement of stones typical of Bronze Age ritual landscapes, accompanied by Selattyn Tower, a later stone structure built upon or adjacent to the prehistoric remains. The ring cairn represents evidence of funerary or ceremonial practice during the Bronze Age, whilst the tower reflects later historical use and modification of the hilltop location. The monument's position on elevated terrain reflects the importance of high ground in both prehistoric ritual activity and subsequent settlement patterns in the Welsh Marches region.
