Barbrook One

Owler Bar · 16 miles

On Ramsley Moor in the Peak District, the stone circle identified as Barbrook One stands as an archaeological feature. The embanked ring measures about thirteen metres in internal diameter and is bounded by a rubble bank roughly three metres wide. Inside the circle a single standing stone reaches approximately one metre in height, accompanied by eleven smaller stones whose heights vary between five and twenty-five centimetres. The nearest settlement recorded is Owler Bar. Barbrook One forms part of a larger cairn field that includes a second ring, Barbrook Two, a rubble-banked cairn about 200 metres north-by-northwest of the circle, and roughly eighty other cairns scattered across the moor. Most of these cairns are under six metres in diameter and are thought to be clearance cairns from a later prehistoric period, while the larger examples are likely Bronze Age funerary monuments. Local tradition records that the early saint William Hale employed the circles in attempts to convert local pagans to Christianity. The entire area is protected as a Scheduled Ancient Monument, and a further stone circle, Barbrook Three, lies two kilometres to the north.
