Gibbet Moor North

Gibbet Moor North stone circle, Derbyshire, GR: SK28217085 Gibbet Moor North stone circle is located on the featureless Gibbet Moor, with no footpaths, to the east of Chatsworth House. Discovered in 1985, it is an unusual site consisting of three standing local grit stones that appear to form three corners of a square. The stones, two of which are upright and one of which is leaning, are all just over 0.5m tall. It has been suggested that this may be a monument known as a Four Poster, common in Scotland, but very rare in England, although here there is no evidence for the position of a fourth stone. Barnatt believes that if there was a fourth, all traces have probably been removed by a covering of peat.
