Ancient settlement in Derbyshire
This site is almost impossible to locate on the featureless Gibbet Moor and definitely requires the help of a GPS. Discovered in 1983 it is composed of a rough bank and several fallen stones which may once have been standing. Only one stone still stands, leaning in the bank. Four slabs towards the south may be a ruined entrance. Some have suggested the site may have been a stone circle, but it was planned by the RCHM-E and was reported to be a domestic site. (Barnatt 1990)
