The Nine Stones Circle
The Nine Stones Circle, near Fox Tor, comprises a ring of 8 stones with the ninth in the centre. It was reconstructed in the nineteenth century from stones of local granite, although some of the stones have since fallen again or are leaning at precarious angles. Alexander Thom proposed the circle is in lunar alignment with the nearby border stone row which leads towards some cairns, although this has been considered doubtful as the row is likely to be of mediaeval construction.
