    Ewden Beck Stone Circle in South Yorkshire. Ewden Beck is the most northerly of all the known sites in the Peak District to the north-west of Sheffield and west of Stocksbridge and marked on the map as ‘enclosure’. The circle is named after the nearby stream of Ewden Beck and is located on a flat shelf just above the steep valley, in an area surrounded by a bank and ditch of unknown date. As far as the view is concerned, there is very little to see in any direction. Ewden Beck consists of eight or possibly nine stones (five of which are still standing) in a ring 16m by 14.5m set into the inner edge of an earthen bank. The stones vary in height between about 0.75m and 0.35m, hence the difficulty of recognising not only the stones amongst the vegetation, but also the definition of the ring. The bank, now barely visible, is approximately 20m in diameter and between 2m and 3m wide into which a single stone is placed to the south-east. To the east it is particularly high where the ground behind drops away. Other stones lie close by and may once have formed part of the ring. Two entrances, to the north-north-west and south-south-east, both edged with stones are located in the bank, and there are two cairns within the circle. If the stones were evenly spaced there may have been as many as fourteen or fifteen originally with four stones at the entrances.

    Situated a little way south west of where the Mortimer and Penistone Roads meet north west of High Bradfield, this cairn is featured on The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) web site - see their Apronful of Stones, Bradfield, South Yorkshire page. They describe the archaeology and history of the immediate area, show the site on an 1850's OS map and feature the folklore. Further details can also be found at Pastscape Monument No. 312762. Their description is of a "circular earthwork of a ring cairn situated in moorland overlooking the village of Bradfield. The ring cairn is roughly circular, measuring 27 metres by 23 metres externally and 22.5 metres by 21 metres internally. It comprises a low bank which stands 0.3 metres high. The width of the bank is variable but, typically, is 1.5 metres-2.5 metres wide. The cairn dates to the Bronze Age and forms part of a series of remains of the same date on the gritstone moors of the Peak District. Scheduled." The Historic England Schedule Listing can be viewed by clicking on List Entry 1017667, which tells us this ring cairn is 340 metres north west of Mortimer House, and adds "The site of the monument slopes gently to the east close to a linear earthwork known as The Bar Dyke. It stands on a broad ridge crest between higher moorland to the west and the lower cultivated land shelves to the south and south east. The ring cairn is part of a group of similar monuments, dated to the Bronze Age, surviving on the gritstone fringes of the Peak District. The ring cairn is roughly circular, measuring 27m by 23m externally and 22.5m by 21m internally. It comprises a low bank which stands approximately 0.3m high. The width of the bank is variable but, typically, is 1.5m-2.5m wide. Some of the earthwork is poorly defined and is often obscured by heather. There is a small, shallow pit in the western interior edge of the bank. A small cairn appears to be superimposed on the eastern edge of the embankment, with a diameter of 4.5m. A disused pathway or animal track passes east-west through the earthwork which has caused some erosion damage to the embankment and interior. The ring cairn dates to the Bronze Age and forms part of a series of remains of the same date on the gritstone moors of the Peak District. A small cairnfield is located to the west, which is the subject of a separate scheduling

    Seven Stones Of Hordron Overlooked by Stanage Edge, the Seven Stones of Hordron boast some of the best views in the Peak District. The circle actually consists of nine standing millstone grit stones and one recumbent stone, in a ring about 16m in diameter. In actual fact, counting all the smaller stones on site, there are twenty-three in total. However archaeological evidence has revealed that originally there may have been between sixteen and twenty stones. Unlike most of the other circles in the Peak District, Hordron Edge is a free-standing circle having no embankment. However, all the stones are typically Derbyshire in style, all being less than a metre in height. Again the largest stone stands to the south-west, but here it is only marginally taller than the others. Most of the stones show signs of weathering. The Seven Stones of Hordron also witnessed tampering by ‘persons unknown’ in the early 1990s. In 1992 one of the stones, which had previously been buried was re-erected. This stone circle is recorded as Pastscape Monument No. 312213, which tells us: "A circle of 11 standing stones with evidence that at least three more stones lie below the ground surface. The circle is situated on level moorland close to the edge of a west-facing escarpment known as Hordron Edge and overlooks the upper Derwent Valley. The stone circle is dated to the Bronze Age and is sometimes referred to as 'The Seven Stones of Hordron'. The circle measures 15 metres by 16 metres and is of local stone. The height of the stones varies from 0.45 metres to 0.95 metres with the largest standing at the south west of the arrangement. There is no trace of an embankment surrounding the circle, as with several stone circles in the Peak District, nor of central features. The stones are arranged in three groups with relatively wide spacings between each. During repair and restoration work in 1992, evidence for at least three more orthostats below ground was discovered and it is likely that the stones were originally more regularly spaced. It is unclear whether the present positions of the standing stones are original settings, but many are likely to be undisturbed. Scheduled.

    Eyam Moor 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-shaped cairn structure, in a north-south alignment, with a trench cut through the centre. The inside has been excavated out to reveal patches of the cairn’s internal stone structure.

    Eyam Boundary Stone Marker Stone in Derbyshire Eyam Boundary Stone Eyam is famous for an event in 1665 and 1666, when a bolt of cloth was delivered to the tailor, which was thought to contain fleas infected with the black plague. The villagers decided to cut themselves and the village off from the rest of the area. Over a period of 14 months almost a third of the villagers died, but the plague did not spread. A footpath leads out of the village, towards Stoney Middleton via the Boundary Stone. This stone was the place where residents of Eyam left money during the plague, in exchange for goods. The stone has six holes that were filled with vinegar to disinfect the money. I think the stone may be very old, and wonder if the holes existed before the need for using them as little wells to disinfect money. Could they possibly be cup marks? Wild conjecture I know; I am however interested to know if anyone else has any views on its possible antiquity.

    Stoke Flat 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 prehistory. The bank is approximately 2m wide, 11.5m internally and 15.5m externally in diameter. Both entrances are lined with a set of parallel stones, with four remaining in the southern entrance and three in the northern one. Elsewhere four smaller stones are set at the inner edge of the bank. It is clear that there are quite a few missing and may have been as many as sixteen originally. The majority of the stones are of typical Derbyshire height, about 0.5m tall, while the largest stone, flanking one of the entrances, is over 1m in height.

    Barbrook stone circle is not marked on any of the maps but is located 600m to the north-north-west of Barbrook I. It is of a similar size to Barbrook I, consisting of an irregular set of nine (originally ten) stones set into a low dry-stone wall, 14.5m by 13.5m in diameter, 3.5m wide and 0.5m high, with one entrance to the north-east. A small cairn is located in the interior. Only one of the standing stones, to the west-south-west, is taller than the surrounding wall, but there does not appear to be any special reason why this should be so. 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.

    Gardoms Edge 2 (Baslow) Rock Art in Derbyshire Worn overlapping cup and ring markings can be found on this stone which lies 270m NNE of the standing stone. This stone is recorded as Pastscape Monument No. 1004284 which says: "Cup and ring carved stone found during a survey of monuments on Gardom's Edge by RCHME/PPJPB in 1990-91. The carving is present on an earthfast block measuring 0.45 metres by 0.40 metres by 0.30 metres. One end of its upper face had two cup marks, each surrounded by a pecked ring, the two rings almost touching. The carving was badly worn. As the stone appeared to be a `portable' slab, it was planned to remove it for safekeeping in May 1992. However, it was found to extend for at least 0.30m into the ground, hence it was left in situ."

    Gardoms Edge Stone Gardoms Edge StoneSingle Standing Stone on Gardoms Edge in Derbyshire with an unusual shape and tilt which resembles a giant sundial. The landscape surrounding the stone harbours many ancient monuments such as Bronze Age roundhouses, a late Neolithic enclosure, and other traces of a long lasting human occupation. The stone is thought to be late Neolithic, set in place around 2000 BC. Gardom’s Edge is a striking millstone grit ridge less than an hour’s drive from Manchester. Dr Daniel Brown and researchers from Nottingham Trent University have carried out a microtopography survey of the surface surrounding the monolith. Their findings indicate the presence of packing stones around the base of the monolith, evidence that it was placed carefully in position. They have also carried out 3-D modelling of illumination of the stone through the seasons, adapting for changes in the Earth’s tilt to the ecliptic plane over four millennia.

    Gibbet Moor North submitted by Vicky Gibbet Moor NorthGibbet 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.

    Park Gate is a relatively well-preserved embanked stone circle located on a boggy plateau on the moorland above Beeley, at the northern end of a cairnfield. The two ringcairns of Beeley Moor North (GR: SK277687) and Beeley Warren North East (GR: SK279688) are located close by to the north-west. The circle consists of ten stones in a ring, approximately 12.5m by 12m in diameter with a further stone, completely buried, to the north-west. If the stones were evenly spaced, there may originally have been as many as twenty in the circle. The larger stones range between about 0.5m and 0.9m in height, except for one lying to the south which leans badly and has all but collapsed. This stone would probably have been well over a metre in height originally. It has what looks like a possible cupmark on one of its edges but this is thought to be a bullet mark from the moor's army training days. The bank, difficult to see in parts, is between 1.5m and 2.5m wide and 15m in diameter. It is clearest to the west and south-west. .

    According to John Barnatt (1990) this is a possible ringcairn lying above Beeley Edge at 285m above sea level. It is composed of a bank circa 1.5 to 2m wide and 11.5m externally in diameter. There is a small stone lies at the inner edge of the bank – the suggests this could be part of a kerb or a fallen standing stone.
