Staden Low
Staden Low submitted by vicky : Due to development on the neighbouring industrial estate at Staden near Buxton, the best vantage point for viewing the earthworks will soon disappear. On a recent visit the circular aerthworks along with the square enclosure at the top were clearly visible. (Vote or comment on this photo)
An earthwork enclosure of uncertain date and function. It comprises an oval embankment with internal ditch, with a maximum external diameter of circa 58 metres. There are two entrances, one on the north-north-east and the other to the south-south-east.

This site, which lies in an Industrial Estate close to Buxton, has been suggested to be either a Neolithic henge or an Iron Age/Romano British enclosure, but as no excavations have been carried out on the site, it is impossible to say.

There is much debate as to what Staden Henge actually was - some believe it is Neolithic, others that it was Iron Age. All that survives today are the faint traces of an earthwork, close to Staden Industrial Estate.
