The Stiperstones (Welsh: Carneddau Teon) is a distinctive hill in the county of Shropshire, England. The quartzite rock of the ridge formed some 480 million years ago. During the last Ice Age Stiperstones lay on the eastern margin of the Welsh ice sheet. The hill itself was not glaciated though glaciers occupied surrounding valleys and it was subject to intense freezing and thawing which shattered the quartzite into a mass of jumbled scree surrounding several residual rocky tors. At 536 metres (1,759 ft) above sea level it is the second-highest hill in the county, surpassed only by Brown Clee Hill (540 metres (1,772 ft)). Stiperstones' 8-kilometre (5 mi) summit ridge is crowned by several jagged outcrops of rock, which may be seen silhouetted against the sky.

  • Stiperstones (en galés, Carneddau Teon)​ es una colina distintiva en el condado de Shropshire, Inglaterra. La roca de cuarcita de la cresta se formó hace unos 480 millones de años. Durante la última Edad de Hielo, Stiperstones yacía en el margen oriental de la capa de hielo de Gales. La colina en sí no estaba glaciada, aunque los glaciares ocupaban los valles circundantes y estaba sujeta a un intenso congelamiento y deshielo que destrozó la cuarcita en una masa de pedregal revuelto que rodeaba varios tores rocosos residuales.​ A 536 metros (586,2 yd) sobre el nivel del mar es la segunda colina más alta del condado, superada solo por Brown Clee Hill (540 metros (1772 pies)). La cima de 8 kilómetros (5 mi) está coronada por varios afloramientos dentados, que pueden verse recortados contra el (es)
