Notes: A private location, on the edge of woodland north of Much Wenlock. In an area littered with disused quarries, the land where this large ancient tree is found bears testament to centuries of excavation activity. In the treeless field adjacent to this woodland, a dip in the ground, presumably once the site of quarrying, is now grass covered.
