Grindsbrook Clough, Edale submitted by islaybirsay on 27th Jan 2022. At the head of Grindsbrook Clough approaching Kinder Scout there are a number of stones in situ with formed ring/cup depressions. There is nothing noted on this site but they do look to be formed and at the head of the clough.

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...

Mayburgh
Date Added: 19th Aug 2024
Site Type: Henge
Country: England (Cumbria)
Visited: Yes on 12th Aug 2024. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 4 Access 4
Mayburgh submitted by wildtalents on 15th May 2024. The henge banks at Mayburgh were built up mainly using cobbles like those surrounding the one remaining megalith at the site. It's a really large structure and may have been a meeting point for many hundreds of people at a time. These days mainly sheep throng the henge. Image from spring 2023.

Log Text: Finally managed to visit after a number of visits called off due to poor weather. Incredible scale, especially considering it being built from cobbles taken from the river. Was once told it is made up of three colours of rock, from three different sources?

Log Text: Has been on my list of sites to visit for some time, but always a bit far from my where I am in Cumbria or the Dales. What a great stone, complete with cup and ring marks (a first for me on anything other than exposed bedrock or stone repurposed in drystone walls). Standing stone (as a single object) feels well placed to cast a shadow across the landscape, but the subsequent stone circle seems quite odd as it flows down hill. An archaeologist friend of mine was lucky enough to be on a dig here in late 2022!
