Abstract:		 A programme of small-scale excavation and environmental sampling at three earthworks on the Long Mynd, Shropshire, took place in 1992. It was related to repairs to the monuments, and formed part of the Marches Uplands Survey. The results have contributed to an understanding of the land-use history of the area, and have also indicated the potential of upland earthwork sites in the region. The sites investigated were the Shooting Box barrow, and two cross-dykes at Devil's Mouth and at High Park Cottage. Radiocarbon dates were obtained from two of the sites, with dates in the Early Bronze Age from the Shooting Box barrow and the Middle Bronze Age from the Devil's Mouth linear earthwork. All three earthworks sealed ground surfaces, which were investigated using soil analysis and micromorphology and pollen analysis. Charred plant remains were also present. The environmental and soils analysis results from the Shooting Box barrow in particular were useful, relating to the contemporary environment, the construction of the earthwork, and associated activities.
