In memory of the airmen who died on this hill, both
in 1939-1945 and since. South Shropshire is a major air training
area. Many of the casualties were training. This memorial lies
just above the saddle between Abdon and Clee Burfs.

Abdon Burf from Clee Burf.
The summit of Abdon Burf, and of Shropshire. The
true summit is behind, and north of the telecom masts. The trigpoint
is on top of a rapidly eroding pile of coal mine waste. The higher
top is a remnant of old mine and quarry workings and appears to
be about 1 or 2 metres higher.
