Nine Ladies submitted by PaulM on 1st Sep 2001. Nine Ladies Stone Circle (aka Stanton Moor 2), Derbyshire GR: SK249635
Nine Ladies is a typical Derbyshire circle consisting of nine visible small standing stones embedded in a grassed over stone rubble bank approximately 11.5m by 10.5m in diameter. The site is the most popular in Derbyshire and much in the media spotlight due to quarrying plans in the area.
The stones are all composed of local millstone grit and none are taller than one metre in height. The bank has now all but disappea...

Nether Largie standing stone
Date Added: 6th Jun 2013
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Scotland (Argyll)
Visited: Yes on 1st Aug 1996. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 5 Access 4
Nether Largie standing stone submitted by caradoc68 on 18th Aug 2012. This standing stone is in the middle of a field, a short distance of the footpath. The farmer does not like you being there and might put a angry looking bull in the field to put visitors off. Cant find a lot written about this stone or why it seems to be leaning at 45 degrees and pointing to the southeast.

Merry Maidens (Circle) submitted by JimChampion on 27th Oct 2006. August 2005. The Merry Maidens under fluffy white clouds. I rediscovered this photo and selectively manipulated the contrast so that you can now see the stones (previously they were too dark). I've uploaded a similar photo to Wikimedia Commons - they need pictures of ancient sites for use on free sites like Wikipedia.

Visited: Couldn't find on 27th Jun 2004. My rating: Access 1
Meal-da-Bheinn submitted by BolshieBoris on 27th Jun 2007. Meal-da-Bheinn - This was as close as I could get - according to the OS Map the circle should be on the sunlit bit of the hillside, but it was not accessible from the road without wading equipment. Very boggy ground and 2 deep streams in the way.
