Duddo Five Stones

The stone circle of Duddo is located north of Duddo in Northumberland, England, and is a falsely designated "Five Stone Circle " from the Bronze Age. Duddo stands on light saddle between the slopes of the Mattilees Hills to the east and a slight increase in the West, in the direction of only about six kilometers from border with Scotland.

Although listed on old maps as " Duddo Four Stones", there are in this stone circle five menhirs. The restoration of a fallen stone at the beginning of the 20th century means that the circle is now usually referred to as " Duddo Five Stones ". There were, however, only seven stones, because in the West there is a big gap. The level traces of two other stones were discovered during excavations in the 1890s. The missing stones were at least 50 years previously removed.

Due to the soft sandstone, the stones are badly eroded. Channel carts that have cut from the top of the stone, determine the current appearance of the monolith. Despite the size of the stones, the highest is 2.3 m high, the circuit is very compact with a diameter of 10 m. Surprisingly, given the depth of the surface grooves, or perhaps because of this, several wells were on the stones as bowls (English cups) is interpreted.
