Doddington Stone Circle Stone Circle View all content for Doddington Stone Circle

01/05/2016 - I'd been looking forward to this one. A quick look at the map showed a hill jam packed with stuff - cup and ring marked rocks, hillforts, settlements and even a stone circle. We started from Wooler. Walking over Weetwood Moor via the St Cuthbert Way (passing a few cairns on top) then crossing the Weetwood bridge to start the climb up Dod Law. Good paths all the way. After reading the fieldnotes on here, I was a little worried that there wouldn't be any stones still standing. Seemed like another one had fallen each time someone visited. Pleased to say that the one remaining upright stone is still hanging in there. I would loved to have seen this one complete. It's a lovely little circle and a fine spot. We left the circle behind to make our way uphill, looking for cup and ring and visiting the forts on top. Fantatsic hill. Looped back to Wooler via the rock art stones on Weetwood Moor (great site). Good day out.
