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.

V/V
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Rock Art
Country: United States (The Southwest)
Visited: Yes on 31st May 2010
V/V submitted by TimPrevett on 31st May 2010. The rocks are dense with petroglyphs, some of which feature in an archaeo-astronomical event. I saw a token of this event in the afternoon of my visit on 15th August 2009.
Two deliberately placed and shaped stones above the panels cast shadow daggers across different glyphs, pointing to different marks at key times of the year. A lot more information on this (and more generally) is at the website http://www.sinaguasunwatchers.com/vbarv.htm
Although I didn't witness a key event, to see ...
