Bamford Moor South submitted by PaulM on 31st Aug 2001. Bamford Moor South Stone Circle (Derbyshire)GR:SK221845. Bamford Moor South is a well-preserved embanked stone circle and is one of the smallest sites in the Peak District. The circle is a little overgrown by heather, but all the stones are still visible set in the inner edge of a bank. They form a ring approximately 8m by 7m in diameter. There are eight large stones on site, but only six forming part of the circle. One stone, located to the west, is noticeably taller than the others, about 0.7...

Bradup circle submitted by andy_h on 4th May 2004. Visited here to investigate reports that the circle had been destroyed and yup, it's gone! A sad cluster of rocks heaved out and dumped near the style still bear JCB marks and the field in which the circle stood has been stripped down to the soil and is now grassed over.
This was a listed, protected monument and I'm sure the landowner can be prosecuted if the destruction was carried out without permission.
Local folklore also tells that a number of stones were taken from the circle to bui...

Grassington B submitted by stu on 11th Oct 2003. SE025 667. Grassington B is a lot more disturbed than Grassington A. With the amount of old workings on the moor it's surprising they've survived.

Gray Hill circle submitted by sem on 6th May 2013. Vandalism!
The idiot who sprayed this hand-print probably thought he was being very clever and somehow "enhancing" the work of his ancestors. The sane and sensible among us will view it for what it is, graffiti.
This has been reported to the relevant archaeo trust. Unfortunately I doubt the culprit will be found..... unless anyone knows of someone bragging on a social network site????

Cerrig Pryfaid submitted by stonedowser on 23rd Feb 2002. This is a good circle, though not easily seen until you are actually standing by it. There are a couple of outliers associated with the circle and what dowses as a cairn also. More pictures and dowsing diagram on web pages. Ian.

Willy Howe submitted by DavidRaven on 9th Jun 2003. Part of the 'Great Yorkshire Barrows' group. To say that these have been called by some, 'the ancestors' of the mighty Silbury Hill in
Wiltshire, you'd think a little more would be made of them!
Reckoned to be as old as Duggleby Howe, and a similar size: seven and a half meters high and thirty six and a half meters in diameter.
Attempts at finding its secrets in 1857 and again thirty years later yielded nothing. A pit about nine feet deep was discovered but was bereft of objects or human ...

Stoke Flat submitted by PaulM on 1st Sep 2001. Froggatt Edge stone circle (aka Stoke Flat), Derbyshire GR: SK249768
Froggatt Edge stone circle is set on a flat shelf, overlooking the picturesque Derwent Valley.
Often referred to as Stoke Flat, the site is complex, though now sadly quite ruined. It consists of an embanked stone circle with two entrances exactly opposite, to the north-north-west and south-south-east. Traces of dry-stone walling in the northern entrance suggest that it may have been deliberately blocked at some time in p...

Barbrook 3 submitted by PaulM on 31st Aug 2001. Barbrook III Stone Circle, Big Moor, Derbyshire
GR: SK283773
Located to the north-east of Barbrook stream and reservoir, Barbrook III is very difficult to make out, as most of the stones are almost completely overgrown by the moorland grass and partially covered in peat.
The stones, mostly leaning or collapsed, stand in a bank approximately 26m by 23.5m in diameter, making it one of the largest circles in the Peak District. The bank is broken by three gaps, with one to the east-north-eas...

Nine Ladies submitted by PaulM on 1st Sep 2001. Nine Ladies Stone Circle (aka Stanton Moor 2), Derbyshire GR: SK249635
Nine Ladies is a typical Derbyshire circle consisting of nine visible small standing stones embedded in a grassed over stone rubble bank approximately 11.5m by 10.5m in diameter. The site is the most popular in Derbyshire and much in the media spotlight due to quarrying plans in the area.
The stones are all composed of local millstone grit and none are taller than one metre in height. The bank has now all but disappea...
