| Dour Hill (Rochester) | Chambered Cairn | England | Northumberland | Visited | 17th Jun 2017 | 2 | 4 | 3 | Dour Hill Chambered Cairn, Near Otterburn: We picked the hottest day of the year so far to visit here, and climbed the gently sloping hill up past the very tall forest plantations towards the top of Dour Hill.
This visit was interesting as the army were carrying out exercises on the Otterburn Ran... Read More |

| Caddrounburn Calvert | Ancient Village or Settlement | Scotland | Scottish Borders | Visited | 24th Jun 2017 | 2 | 4 | 5 | Caddrounburn Calvert, Scottish Borders: [Note: whilst the site can be seen from the road by Liddel Water, it is a short climb up the slope to walk round the exterior walls of the settlement. I found the tussocks of grass and hidden lumps of stone challenging on my ankles, but took a walking pole to ... Read More |

| Rochester (Otterburn) | Modern Stone Circle etc | England | Northumberland | Visited | Rochester (Otterburn) Modern Four Poster: We’ve seen this stone circle and a tumble-down round house whilst driving by on the A68 on a number of occasions but never stopped. However, today, after a hot but pleasant afternoon walking to Dour Hill Cairn, we doubled back to the café for refreshment... Read More |

| Old Castleton (Newcastleton) | Misc. Earthwork | Scotland | Scottish Borders | Visited | 24th Jun 2017 | 2 | 4 | 4 | Old Castleton Earthworks (Liddel Castle), Near Newcastleton: At the north-eastern end of the cemetery, there is a small iron gate which leads out onto the field with the earthworks. The gate had been tied fast, but rather than walk all the way round, I used my un-knotting skills (honed from many ye... Read More |

| Castleton (Newcastleton) | Ancient Cross | Scotland | Scottish Borders | Visited | 24th Jun 2017 | 1 | 4 | 5 | Castleton Cross, Near Newcastleton: Whilst this cross can be seen from the road, it is best viewed from the field (gate opposite the cemetery, otherwise its a clamber over a barbed wire fence in boggy ground). The shaft is a modern replacement, made of concrete. The field contains many lumps and b... Read More |

| Gibbie's Knowe (Kielder) | Ancient Village or Settlement | England | Northumberland | Visited | 17th Jun 2017 | 3 | 5 | 3 | Gibbie's Knowe, Kielder Forest: After our long trek up to Dour Hill Chambered Cairn, the heat was definitely getting to both of us. Andrew decided to drive the 12 miles down the Forest Drive toll road from Cottonshopeburnhaugh to Kielder. Goodness, this road is remote, but lovely.
We stopped ... Read More |

| Milnholm (Newcastleton) | Ancient Cross | Scotland | Scottish Borders | Visited | 24th Jun 2017 | 3 | 4 | 5 | Milnholm Cross, Newcastleton: Not my usual type of cross, but interesting nevertheless. This cross sits just to the south of Newcastleton Village, on the right hand side of the B6357. There is a small layby at NY 47633 86073 where a side road heads off up the hill, signposted to Ettleton cemetery. ... Read More |

| Carby Hill | Ancient Village or Settlement | Scotland | Scottish Borders | Saw from a distance | 24th Jun 2017 | 2 | 4 | 3 | Carby Hill Settlement, Scottish Borders: We only got to see this from a distance because of the ENORMOUS cattle grazing it's slopes. Even my husband, who was brought up on a farm was wary of these beasts. We plan to come back for a repeat visit in a month or so. Whilst the hill looks steep, from ... Read More |
