Nine Stones Close, Bronze Age stone circle on Harthill Moor, England.
Four standing stones, reaching heights of 2.2 meters, form part of the eastern arc of a circle with a 30-meter diameter.
During the 18th and 19th centuries, several stones were removed from the original formation, with one stone relocated 70 meters south for use as a gatepost.
Archaeological excavations at the site by Thomas Bateman in 1847 uncovered Bronze Age artifacts, including flint tools and pottery fragments.
The stone circle sits near Robin Hood's Stride natural formation, with access through the surrounding moorland paths of Derbyshire.
The southwestern stone displays cup marks on both surfaces, indicating potential ceremonial or functional purposes during prehistoric times.
