Embanked stone circle known as Wet Withens, and adjacent cairn, Bronze Age stone circle in Eyam, England
The Wet Withens stone circle spans 30 meters in diameter and contains 10 upright stones arranged in a circular pattern on Eyam Moor.
Archaeological records from 1842 documented sixteen original stones at the site, though the number decreased to ten by the late nineteenth century.
The stone circle and its adjacent cairn reflect Bronze Age burial practices and community rituals performed between 2350 BC and 701 BC.
Located at 335 meters above sea level, the site connects to public footpaths from Eyam village and provides views over Bretton Clough.
The circle features a prominent Chair Stone, measuring 70 centimeters high, with a natural ledge formation resembling a seat carved into its surface.
