Duddo Five Stones
Date Added: 26th Feb 2012
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Northumberland)
Visited: Yes on 8th Apr 2005. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 3
Duddo Five Stones submitted by kelpie on 16th May 2004. Stone circle in Northumberland at NT931437. There was no obvious path to the stones apart from through the crops so I took the shot from a distance. Burl believes that few if any of these stones are in their original positions but have probalby been re-erected through the years.

Log Text: Access from the north is a bit hazardous as a little quarry has to be avoided. The circle is pretty much destroyed but the overgrown cairn is visible in the centre. Great views all around.
