Duddo Five Stones, Stone circle in Duddo, Northumberland, England.
Five tall sandstone monoliths stand in formation on a hilltop, offering views across the Northumberland countryside to the Cheviot and Lammermuir Hills.
The stone circle dates back 4000 years to the Early Bronze Age, with archaeological evidence suggesting the original presence of seven stones at the site.
Local stories tell of the stones being people who received punishment for working during religious days, reflecting medieval Christian influence on prehistoric monuments.
Visitors can reach the stones by following a permissive path through private farmland, starting from a designated parking area along the B6354 road.
Natural weathering has carved deep vertical grooves into the sandstone surfaces, creating patterns that distinguish each stone in the circle.
