| Robin of Risingham (Woodburn) | Carving | England | Northumberland | Visited | 8th Jul 2017 | 3 | 3 | 4 | Robin of Risingham, West Woodburn: Our first stop of the day, just south of West Woodburn on the A68. The sun was shining, it was warm and there was barely a breeze apart when the many motorbikes whizzed past at high speed.
Conveniently, there is a layby next to the start of the footpath leading... Read More |

| Yatesfield Hill (Otterburn) | Standing Stone (Menhir) | England | Northumberland | Visited | 8th Jul 2017 | 3 | 4 | 5 | Yatesfield Hill Standing Stone, Otterburn Ranges: Driving up to Yatesfield Hill, I noticed this stone by the side of the road. There is no mention of it on Pastscape, English Heritage or the OS maps.
It might be a marker stone or a rubbing stone, as it is sited by the junction of Yatesfield Hi... Read More |

| Woodburnhill (East Woodburn) | Ancient Cross | England | Northumberland | Visited | 8th Jul 2017 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Cross base near Woodburnhill Farm, Northumberland: Trying to find the footpath near Parkhead Farm to Robin of Risingham, I spotted the ‘cross (rems of)’ on the OS map just outside East Woodburn at Chairford Bridge.
As this wasn’t far away, we decided to explore. Parking at the northern sid... Read More |

| Woodhouse (West Woodburn) | Cairn | England | Northumberland | Visited | 8th Jul 2017 | 3 | 4 | 5 | Woodhouse Round Cairn and Roman Milestone, Northumberland: How many times have we driven up and down this road and never spotted anything? Today I saw the stone peering above the stone wall to the west of the A68, where the Sandstone Way crosses it.
There was a tumulus marked on the map, so I sta... Read More |

| Brownrigg (Rochester) | Ancient Cross | England | Northumberland | Visited | 8th Jul 2017 | 3 | 3 | 4 | Brownrigg Ancient Cross Base, Rochester, Northumberland: Two cross bases in one day, although this one isn’t marked on the map. Husband, Andrew, found it by doing a location search on Pastscape before we set off (he gets to look at settlements and Roman forts he's interested in whilst I get the c... Read More |

| Burdhope (Rochester) | Ancient Village or Settlement | England | Northumberland | Visited | 8th Jul 2017 | 2 | 5 | 3 | Burdhope Hill Village, Rochester, Northumberland: After having stopped at the Camien Café for refreshments, we headed off into the hot sun again. This time it was only a few hundred metres up the road. There was a small layby at the side of the road opposite Woolaw Farm entrance. Crossing the ro... Read More |

| Yatesfield (Otterburn) | Ancient Village or Settlement | England | Northumberland | Visited | 8th Jul 2017 | 2 | 2 | 5 | Yatesfield Settlement, Otterburn Ranges: By this time, it was 6pm, and rather than face another long walk over rough ground to the Roman Tombs at Lamb Crag, we decided to save our feet and drive to this site up on the Otterburn Ranges. We spotted the two ‘archaeological area’ signs at the south... Read More |
