Image of Gibbet Moor and East Moor (Barrow / Cairn Cemetery) by thesweetcheat

At the western end of the rubble bank (see previous photo) are two upright stones, suggestive of the arrangements that form entrances to many of the ring cairns/embanked circles in the Peak District.

South of the cairnfield and near to the Chatsworth estate wall we came across this long rubble bank. The only NMR record for the vicinity (SK 27836 70362) suggests it is a ruined Bronze Age cairn turned into a series of Medieval sheepfolds.

Gibbet Moor and East Moor

Barrow / Cairn Cemetery

stubob Jun 11, 2010

Been meaning to come back up here with a camera since this section of the moor was burnt off 5 or 6 years ago.
Now after so long the heather has grown back and much of the cairn cemetery is well hidden in the thick new growth.
Still visible are the 2 larger burial cairns, but hidden are 3 smaller ones and 3 small rings of kerb stones, although we possibly came across one of these rings a few metres away to the SE of the most southerly of the larger cairns.
