That flag in Weston

Goldilox

How do I edit this?
I've spotted a green flag with an image of a sheep (or maybe a goat?) flying from a pole just outside of Weston, between the Saracen's Head and Weston Hall.

I just wondered if anyone knew what the significance was?

I don’t know what it signifies but there’s been a lot of campers in that field over the last month or so , especially at weekends.

I saw it a few times in passing. Didn’t pay much attention but seem to think it could have been a ram. If it’s still there I’ll have a look tomorrow when I pass that way (if I can remember)

We were hoping it would be fluttering and we could read it on our way back but alas there was no wind.

It is definitely a sheep with "Ryeland" written below it.

I'm not sure what it signifying but there is a sign on the gate near it with a tent and a tree so I'm guessing it is for a campsite as suggested by @EasMid above.

Ah, not the location as I understood from the OP which was between the Saracens Head and Weston Hall on the A518.

Correct I think Shirleywitch farm/campsite is on the A51 whereas the flag is on the A518 about 150yds Stafford side of the Saracens Head.

Yes, Shirleywich farm site is a new site on the A51. Its looks like it's just a basic field with no visible facilities. It only appeared recently (during lockdown?) & ive never seen it being used.
The flag is on the A518 in between the Sarencens & the river. It was used regularly during the summer & had tents & the occasional motor home. I thought it might have been one of the religious groups (sheep/ shepherd) I haven't seen anyone in here for a couple of weeks now.
