About this image
Nine Stones Close. Only four stones remain of what once was a 45-foot circle of stones. The stones are the tallest in Derbyshire, ranging from 1.2m (4 feet) to 2.1m (7 feet) in height, this tallest being located at the southern end of the circle. Prior to its re-erection in 1936, the 2.1m (7-foot) stone was measured at 3.5m (11 feet 6 inches) long. Both it and its northern partner are set in concrete. The location of the stones is a pleasant one, and is also known as the 'Grey Ladies' , so called because they are supposed to represent ladies who dance at midnight.
