Stanage Cairn
The Stanage Cairn on the west side of the Eyam Moors, northwest of Grindleford, north of Eyam , in Derbyshire , England is a Bronze Age round hill with an adjacent cup stone in an area that is on the maps as Stanage (not to be confused with Stanage Edge a few miles north) is marked. Here are some cairns from the Bronze Age .
The oval cairn, partially buried under grass, measures around 18.0 by 15.0 meters and is less than one meter high. It is believed that it originally had a flattened tip and curb ring. Like many of these Cairns, it was damaged in the center by stone robbery or robbery excavations.
At the edge of the cairn stands a triangular stone with several unusually large and deep bowls on its sides - ten to twelve on the south side, eight on the west side and eight on the top (which were probably caused by weathering). About 20 meters north of the cairn there are more rocks with bowls. One has up to ten while the other has about half a dozen. It is debatable whether they are artificial or natural. They are reminiscent of the Coolstone in Eyam , in whose holes money soaked in vinegar was placed in the times of the plague - it was believed that vinegar killed the infection - in order to buy food and medicine from outside.
