08/04. The 10m long Bronze Age log boat found at Shardlow, dated around 1440-1310BC.
The stones to it’s side are part of a stone causeway (and timber) the boat was found next to, the boat was filled with the same kind of stones before it was deliberately sank. On display in the Derby Museum & Art Gallery.
09/03. After looking for this circle a couple of times and not finding anything I could say for certain was the circle, I was wondering if I was looking in the right place. After seeing Shrophire Traveller’s photo/map posting for the location of this circle I feel a bit more confident that I did come across it.
This stone is the most prominent of the stones, the other stones of the circle are lower, as can be seen in the background.
09/02. One of a pair of standing stones. The other is in a stone wall several metres away to the west.
03/04. One of the stones suggested by the SMR to be ancient. It stands below Over Owler Tor, on the edge of a Bronze Age field system. Carl Wark background right, Higgar Tor to the left.
