Electerrific Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 About 20yrs ago I remember cycling to Bakewell, past Haddon Hall then turning right (just before the dual carriageway) and uphill on that narrow B5056 road into the shade of the woodland (from memory). On the top I saw, somewhere around that area where the road levelled off, some standing stones over the dry wall to the right, looking back towards Bakewell. Here's the map of the area and approx location (Probably Oxclose Wood area?)- http://img278.imagevenue.com/aAfkjfp01fo1i-19032/loc583/228363259_Map_122_583lo.jpg What are these stones? They seemed almost forgotten? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megalithic Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Only standing stones visible from the road in that area are those making up Nine Stones Close. Your link isn't working btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillsbro Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Here is a map indicating the location of Nine Stones Close, shown as "Stone Circle". The "Nine Ladies" circle is a little way to the north-east.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scargill Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 isn't Arbour Low up that way? Although I think they are more laid down stones than standing stones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megalithic Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 The only circle visible from the road in this area is Nine Stones Close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillsbro Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 isn't Arbour Low up that way? Although I think they are more laid down stones than standing stones Arbor Low is about five miles west of Nine Stones Close, south of Monyash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megalithic Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Arbor Low is about five miles west of Nine Stones Close, south of Monyash. The stones at Arbor Low haven't stood in living memory, if ever, so that one can be ruled out anyway. If the stones are genuinely old it can't be anywhere other than NSC, though the OP's directions are "out" somewhere, unless he's looped round from the B5056 and approached via Cliff Lane from South to North.
