Stanton Moor 1
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Derbyshire)
Visited: Yes on 7th Mar 2009
Stanton Moor 1 submitted by TimPrevett on 7th Mar 2009. With the aid of Paul & Vicky's "Rock Around the Peak" (still unbeatable for THE Peak District megalithic handbook), I made a determined search for this circle last Saturday.
Basically, as you head north from the Nine Ladies along the more easterly of the routes, keep your eye open for the first field opening up to the east. Stanton Moor 1 is very close to its perimeter. If you can find Stanton Moor 3 in the other direction from Nine Ladies, then you have a good idea what to look for here.

Doll Tor

Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Derbyshire)
Visited: Yes on 20th Mar 2009
Doll Tor submitted by TimPrevett on 20th Mar 2009. With friends and clients at Doll Tor. I hadn't been to any megalithic sites for months before this - being hired for the weekend to show them a small sample of the wonders of the Peak District just reminded me of my first love of history, and that I actually *need* to visit stones for my wellbeing. There's something about them (as I'm sure most visiting pages know...)

Eyam Moor II
Date Added: 14th Jan 2025
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Derbyshire)
Visited: Yes on 14th Jan 2025. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 3 Access 3
Eyam Moor 2 submitted by PaulM on 31st Aug 2001. General view of Eyam Moor II stone circle. GR:SK231789. Mentioned on several occasions by antiquarians, Eyam Moor II stone circle was only rediscovered in 1983, which is rather surprising considering its close proximity to the well used footpath.This embanked stone circle is now somewhat ruined and submerged. One of the smallest sites of Derbyshire, it is approximately 8m by 7.5m in diameter with only four low stones, ranging in height between 0.15m and 0.3m, set into the bank. The circle is co...

Log Text: Visited after 25 years at least today; one that takes a bit of a hunt. The embankment still visible and prominent if you can interpret it in the growth of Heather, fern and bilberry. The grid ref from the OS app stood inside the circle was SK 23163 78964.

Eyam Moor 3 submitted by PaulM on 31st Aug 2001. General view of Eyam Moor III stone circle. GR:SK232788. Eyam Moor III is quite unusual in that it is one of only five surviving free-standing stone circles in the Peak District. The circle itself is approximately 13m by 12.5m in diameter. There are six stones in total, two of which are recumbent. The stones are of the typical Derbyshire height (up to 0.75m) although the collapsed ones would almost certainly have been taller, perhaps over a metre when standing.In the middle there is a dumbbell-...

Log Text: Like Eyam Moor 2, visited after 25 years at least today; one that takes a bit of a hunt. A little further off the path than 2. Could identify one stone, and the large robbed out centre with some cairn material, but very water logged after thawing of snowfall. All carpeted with the growth of Heather, fern and bilberry. The grid ref from the OS app stood inside the circle was SK 23128 78872.

Log Text: Nightmare to find if you don’t know! Visited in the last hour of daylight today, thick fog at times. The track which is best used for approaching heavily waterlogged and unavoidably so in places, ankle deep, snowfall melting. Spectacular site, and seem to be able to appreciate it more than the previous visits in June 2010, 2003 and probably late 90s.

Log Text: Just adjacent the path, westward facing. Access up from the Longshaw Estate buildings, or down from the main road. Golden Hour here is mind blowingly beautiful, expansive views. The monument itself is ruinous but still very much in evidence, and on this visit the well was flowing vigorously with meltwater still draining from the moors.
Down Tor circle

Down Tor stone row submitted by TimPrevett on 10th Jun 2002. This is where it all began for me: Down Tor, on Dartmoor. A chance encounter on a beautiful day and night with an awesome stone circle and row. This is where the stones bug bit me! Taken with a simple automatic 35mm camera.

SE from Combe Martin, along the A399, west of Parracombe, lie a group of standing stones. Off the A399, turn right onto Down Lane, which has a broad green strip up the middle for as far as you can see. We parked in front of gate, (a wind pump should be to your front left) to allow for space for other vehicles; however, we wer...

Quartz stones are everywhere, scattered around loose on the ground. Thanks to the book Ancient Exmoor I was able to follow these quartz rocks on through the hedge at the back of the photo, across the road and into the field the other side, and for several hundred yards distance after the road.

Grid Reference SS602469
Date Visited Saturday 6th May 2000
Heading east from Ilfracombe, through Combe Martin, along the A399, an unclear left turn is needed! If I remember correctly, there was a signpost for Silver Dale Nurseries, which takes you along the required road. As is often the case, the road is steep, narrow, and very bendy! After a while, there will be two lanes either side of the road, in short succession. First to the left, then to the right. V...

Pig Hill (S) submitted by TimPrevett on 7th Jul 2002. Pig Hill Stone Setting
[No grid reference given by RG, but I assume that this is likely Pig Hill Multiple Stone Rows at SS765444. Tim]
This consists of a semi-circle with a central stone that aligns with two stones in the semi-circle, making a row of three. Also one stone outside does not appear to line up to any others. This site reminds me of Almsworthy Stone Circle, which is incomplete and has other stones outsides, and inside confusing sites with similarities.

Furzehill Common stone row submitted by TimPrevett on 7th Jul 2002. Furzehill stone row SS738440
Very small pair of stones marked on the map, but not accompanied by wording.
[Could this be the remains of Furzehill Common SE Stone Row, as the GR for that is SS738439? Tim.]

Four larger stones with one stone fallen, in a zig-zag pattern; 3 stones about 3 feet tall each, and a long stone at the end is lying. Very impressive this site.
