Dod Law cup and ring marked stones (Doddington)
-
Description
...'A' A fine group of sculptured rocks just outside the outer bailey of the western camp on the north or north-east, side of the Camp, on earthfast rocks flush with the ground. Another rock 9 paces west has four sets too complex to draw. They are all rapidly weathering away, being carved on sandstone. Site should be called Sculptured rocks. (2) The rock (at 'B') is the finest of the Doddington group, and is peculiar in bearing rectilinear forms as well as concentric circles. Three more cup-marked stones lie to the north of the annex of the west fort (at 'A') ('B') This rock contains forms differing considerably from the normal type. It was almost entirely turf-covered until 1855 and now (1863-8) presents an exposed area of 16ft by 8ft. Twenty-four figures are traceable on these stones. (3)(4).... -
