Ketley crag and it’s amazing artwork is just down the hill, as is the Ketley stone, a disputed site of a stone with a ring on it, which to my eyes looks just like this mega ring within the fort.

Chatton Camp

In between Chatton hill rock art panels, and the amazing Kettley crag is this smart little hill fort, well, I think it’s smart, so I’m quite staggered that no ones added any pictures or the site.
The entrance faces south east and on the left side of the entry looking in there is some large chunks of masonry. Two substantial concentric banks with at least one hut circle surviving within. Also within the fort is another rock art panel, apparently dubbed Chatton 4, a very large ring has been carved, next to it a line of quarrying holes, but after seeing picture 80 by Pebbles I can see that there was more there than the big ring, so not only am I crap at finding the art panels I’m also crap at looking at them.
I think I’ll stick mainly to big stones, circles and cairns, so i’ll start with a toddle down the hill to Kettley crag rock art panel.
