Fieldnotes
| A bit of a strange one. The smaller stones that could be part of a circle are mainly buried in clumps of heather, but they could form a circle....I guess. J.Barnatt has the circle down to a fortuitous arrangement of stones. Sadly the rocking stone marked on the late 1800's O.S maps is no longer rocking. A familiar tale in Derbyshire. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 09/05. I had a feeling for sometime that the stone features mentioned by Flopsypete to the south of the circle were associated with a medieval farm/settlement. Remembering to check them out last time I was up there.....I'm pretty certain that they relate this settlement. The structures, marked in places by upright stones, are in fact the remains of a long house, a smaller building and an enclosure wall. Not prehistoric but an interesting spot all the same. There are similar but more ruinous structures over the road in the Sheffield Plantation on the Longshaw Estate. |
