Hordron Edge stone circle, Bronze Age stone circle near Cutthroat Bridge in Derwent, England
The circle contains eleven stones of varying heights between 45 and 95 centimeters, arranged in a formation measuring 15 meters in diameter.
Archaeological evidence indicates that the circle was constructed around 2000 BC when populations began settling in the Peak District due to climate changes.
The site features the prominent Fairy Stone on its southwest section, which has generated local tales about strange light phenomena in the area.
Visitors can locate the stone circle at coordinates 53.3781, -1.67791 on Moscar Moor, approximately 540 meters southeast of Cutthroat Bridge.
Recent excavations have revealed additional stones hidden beneath the peat, suggesting the circle originally contained up to 26 stones in its formation.
