Farley Moor Stone Circle, Derbyshire

Filed under Brigantia England, Bronze Age, Stone Circle

Geophysics and three hand-excavated trenches uncovered ten further uprights, in addition to the known standing stone at Farley Moor Woods, lying just below the leaf-litter, defining a ring c. 18 m in diameter around the visible stone. A low stone-built platform or “kerb cairn” occupies the circle’s south-eastern arc; charcoal lenses and a smashed Collared-Urn sherd in its make-up gave an early Bronze-Age radiocarbon estimate of c. 1700 BCE (3,700 cal BP).
