That was what i first thought but I've not come across any Derbyshire old barns or farm buildings constructed like that, and Ive seen a few, so the only other thing I can come up with is a Roman hypocaust or something medieval like dog kennels? Its obviously old, but how old?

I would guess it measure about 15ft across (5 metres) but its hard to tell. The site has with a few recumbent stones laying around as well.

Yes, the recumbents show up well in the picture.

It looks too modern to be a stone circle, to be honest, although it is clearly something isn't it?

Also, that area of the Peaks has been pretty extensively mapped and investigated over the years, so it would seem a bit to obvious for it to have been missed.

Be interesting to see if any old large scale maps (25") from the late 1800s/early 20th century show it any different before it fell down?
