Would these be Damsons?

I made a crumble using these and didn't need to add sugar although they are not as sweet as plums if you eat them raw.

 

Thanks Richard M.

I agree.  When did you find these?

I'll try that again!

I'd say they were damsons, ours are quite late, we normally don't get them ripe enough until late september/october

Thanks for your help in identifying these, they were picked on 10th September.

The tree's that I found were on waste ground and were loaded.
