Nine Stone Close is a Bronze Age stone circle located on Harthill Moor near Youlgreave in Derbyshire. The monument comprises nine stones arranged in a rough circle, though some sources record variation in the number of upright stones visible at different periods, reflecting both the degradation and restoration of the site over time. Dating to the Bronze Age, the circle belongs to the tradition of ceremonial and ritual stone alignments characteristic of upland areas in the Pennines during the second millennium BCE. The site represents an important example of prehistoric monumental architecture in the East Midlands region, though its precise original function and ritual significance remain subjects of archaeological interpretation.
