Eyam Moor 2
Location -
Eyam Moor
Derbyshire
OS Grid Reference SK 232 790
From Grindleford you need the turn off the B6521 beside the school for the B6001 Hathersage, you then need the immediate left turn up Sir William Hill road. As you come to the start of the long straight section of the road you need the first right turn that leads to Leam Hall / Hazleford Hall, a narrow winding lane.
Around a kilometre along the lane you'll see an access point to your left at circa SK 232 794 with very limited parking, this is the route onto the moor you need.
Despite being located right besides the path you could easily miss this one, even with a trained eye this site is difficult to spot as it's mostly overgrown with heather and bilberry, it's definitely one for the more ardent circle hunter.
Follow the path uphill till you come to the spot where it crosses a dry stone wall, pass through the walls two stone gate posts and walk another 25 metres till you come to where the path splits into two by some larger rocks embedded in the path, these may be part of the embankment and are the best guide to the circle off to your left.
On my last visit 11/12/09 3 of the stones were easily visible, you should also be able to make out the dug out cairn within the circle.
