The unmistakable artwork of the Wychwood Ale, "Fiddler's Elbow", which incorporates folklore motifs common to Stone Circles and Standing Stones - fairies, and a diabolical fiddler.

Fairy Stone submitted by TimPrevett on 4th Aug 2011. Long time coming in getting to this stone! Found out about it about 2005, and got visit earlier this week.
In Paul Devereux's book "Places of Power" pages 121-2 he records this diminished standing stone known as The Fairy Stone (AKA The Devil's Stone). It has a long tradition of fairy lights associated with it, and an account of someone walking past the stone one night getting the fairy lights stuck to his trousers. On getting home he found the trousers to be scorched - according to the tale.....

Log Text: The Fairy Stone Grid Ref: SJ372798 In Paul Devereux's book "Places of Power" pages 121-2 he records this diminished standing stone known as The Fairy Stone (AKA The Devil's Stone). It has a long tradition of fairy lights associated with it, and an account of someone walking past the stone one night getting the fairy lights stuck to his trousers. On getting home he found the trousers to be scorched - according to the tale... Or did he invent the story to explain why he maybe got his best trousers damaged? The stone is said to be situated close to a geological fault.

Wayland's Smithy submitted by TimPrevett on 3rd May 2008. Wayland's Smithy, last November 15th - I could not have wished for more perfect conditions for a first visit.

Roughting Linn Hillfort submitted by TimPrevett on 18th May 2010. These ramparts defining an Iron Age promontory fort are very easy to find - just off the track leading up to Goatscrag Hill, and near the more visited Neolithic Rock Art - from where they are clearly visible. 10/04/10

Doddington Moor
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Northumberland)
Visited: Yes on 20th May 2010
Doddington Moor submitted by TimPrevett on 20th May 2010. Absolute nightmare to find - unplanned visit at the end of a surprisingly superb weather day. A 1:50000 map wasn't much help - the footpaths bore no resemblance to the map, so taking a grid ref from the map, and switching on the handheld GPS guided us here.
At first I was disappointed with the place - just one stone remaining upright - but discovering several other stones, and enjoying the pre-sunset glow, it was a pleasing finish to the end of a wonderful day. 12/04/10.

The Ringses Fort
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Northumberland)
Visited: Yes on 20th May 2010
The Ringses Fort submitted by TimPrevett on 20th May 2010. This was an unplanned visit to Doddington Moor at the end of a surprisingly superb weather day. It would have been a travesty to miss the late evening sun, so en route back to the campsite, we decided to have a plod around this moor.
We decided not to investigate The Ringses: livestock, wanting to bag some more rock art, tiredness, need for food and failing light all conspired. However, I did go near enough to get this image of the rings.
