About Nine Ladies Stone Circle
Nine Ladies Stone Circle
The stone circle known as the ‘Nine Ladies’ stands in a clearing on Stanton Moor in the Derbyshire Peak District, surrounded by young ash, silver birch and beech trees. The circle is approximately 11m in diameter and consists of nine upright stones, all under a metre in height and composed of local millstone grit, a type of sandstone. A tenth stone, known as the ‘King Stone’, lies approximately 40m to the west of the main circle. According to popular legend, the stones are believed to represent nine ladies who were turned to stone for dancing on the Sabbath.
