Nine Ladies
Nine Ladies is a Bronze Age stone circle located on Stanton Moor, Derbyshire, England.〔Burl 1995:53〕 Part of the Peak District National Park, the site is owned by English Heritage and is often visited by tourists and hill walkers. Druids and pagans occasionally celebrate summer solstice there.〔McGuire and Smith 2007:12〕 ==Description==
There are nine upright stones, each of local millstone grit, each less than a metre high, in a clearing in a modern wood planted on Stanton Moor.〔Cope 1998:262〕 They sit in a rough circle with a gap at the south side of the circle where no stone-hole has been found. However, an additional stone, lying flat rather than upright, was discovered after being exposed as a crop mark in the dry weather of 1976. It is now visible.〔McGuire and Smith 2007:20〕 The circle is built on an embankment which levelled the local terrain.〔McGuire and Smith 2007:26〕 The small "King Stone" lies forty metres from the circle to the west-south-west and is clearly visible from it.〔Burl 1995:53〕 The Nine Ladies were among the 28 archetypal monuments in England and Wales included in General Pitt-Rivers’ Schedule to the first Ancient Monuments Protection Act, which became law in 1882. It was taken into state care the following year.〔McGuire and Smith 2007:19〕
