Eyam Moor 3
Location -
Eyam Moor
Derbyshire
OS Grid Reference SK 232 788
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.
This can be one of the more difficult sites to find due to the long heather and low stones, though follow the instructions below and you'll find this well preserved but overgrown free standing circle quite easily.
Follow the path uphill for around 250 - 300 metres till the path intersects a dry stone wall, don't cross the wall but turn to your left and follow the wall, where it ends draw an imaginary line to the corner of the wall you can see some 200 metres distant, follow the line till the circle becomes visible to your right around 25 metres before you reach the wall.
The circle is identifiable by the large deep trench cut through it during earlier excavations, there's also four remaining standing stones though you may have to trawl through the bilberry to find the smaller ones.
