Hi, hoping someone can help. I love visiting stone circles and anything ancient and historical. I was at Pikestones today (Mon 18th Aig 2008) and took a walk north towards Round Loaf. I found a hill with a collection of stones in a mound on top but havinh had a look at the pics of Round Loaf on here and Google Earth I am now doubting that what I found was Round Loaf. It took me about 15 mins heading north easterly to reach this hill and the mound was not as shapely as round loaf looks. The mound I found was more flat but definitely a hill. Can anybody help. If this was not round loaf what was it and how far was I from round loaf? Thanks

You was probably on Hurst Hill which has a modern pile of stones.
Round Loaf is on open moorland, not on a hill.
