Nine Stone Close is a Bronze Age stone circle situated on the moorland of the Peak District in Derbyshire. The monument consists of nine stones arranged in a roughly circular formation, typical of small ceremonial or ritual circles that proliferated across upland Britain during the second millennium BC. The stones are modest in scale compared to more famous circles, reflecting the regional traditions of Bronze Age monument building in the Pennine uplands. The site remains an important archaeological record of prehistoric ritual practice and continues to demonstrate the distribution of stone circles across the English midlands during the Bronze Age period.
