Around the midsummer solstice in 1988 and 1989, the circle was criminally altered by 'persons unknown'. The monument has now been fully restored to look as it would have done circa 2000BC, following partial re-excavation in October and November 1989 by the Peak Park Joint Planning Board in consultation with English Heritage. The archaeological finds can be seen in the Sheffield Museum.
