A drawing by Mr D. Mosmann after a cast by J. Collingwood Bruce.
This is apparently what it looked like in the late 19thC. I’m sure it’s more worn than you’d expect considering it’s spent a lot of the intervening time under soil.
Close up of the worn cups and even more worn rings.
Doddington Moor view
Cheviot view.
Visible from the road leading to Doddington, this bit of carved outcrop has been pretty heavily weathered, it’s in a very exposed location. But this means the view over the Millfield plain is excellent, in the olden days, this would have overlooked a henge or three, as there’s shedloads of the on the plain. The view also gives a nice profile of the Cheviot and her pals, whilst maintaining a visual link with the other rock art sites on Doddington Moor.
It’s currently used as a soapbox by sheep who want to bleat at the passing traffic, and for target practise by the local avian community (Maybe they’re actually aiming at the proseletising sheep?)
High Chesters on BRAC
A comment on the fact that this panel seems to be a bit worse for wear these days, despite having been previously turfed over to protect it from the ravages of sheep and the elements.
