Possible Unmarked Circle? Derbyshire, Birchen Edge
Apr 09, 2013, 11:39
Hi, I was out and about at the weekend at Birchen Edge (Robin Hood, near Baslow, Derbyshire) site of a cairnfield and Nelsons Monument and the Three Ships with my camera.
I was on the edge and taking pictures and focused on what appeared to be a ruined farm building, nothing special about that in Derbyshire, but when i got home and looked at the picture full size it showed what appears to be an unmarked stone circle against a high stone wall.
My camera has quite a powerful zoom and it cant be seen with the naked eye and worse it cant be seen when down from Birchen Edge.
It can be seen (just) on Google Maps/Earth but it isnt shown on any OS maps although nearby features like the Cat Stones, Three Men, cairns, Nelson Monument are shown. English Heritage doesnt have the site marked either.
Grid Ref SK 27667 72860 or 53.252037, -1.5867895
My picture of it is seen here http://www.flickr.com/photos/79289196@N05/8634497928/in/photostream as I'm not sure how to post a picture on this site. Any help appreciated.
