Duddo Five Stones

The Duddo Five Stones is a stone circle north of Duddo in North Northumberland, approximately 4 miles South of the Scottish Border [1]. The stones were known as the Four Stones until 1903, when the fifth stone was re-erected to improve the skyline [1]. There were originally seven stones, the empty sockets of two stones being found on the western side during excavation in the 1890s [1]. The stones are formed of a local soft pink Doddington sandstone [1]. The site of the Duddo Stones offers panoramic views of the Cheviot Hills to the South and the Lammermuir Hills to the north [1]. The location was the subject of an archeological investigation in 2008 [1].
