Hordron Edge stone circle, also known as 'The Seven Stones of Hordron' is a Bronze Age stone circle in Derbyshire, England.[1] It is on the edge of Moscar Moor. Ladybower reservoir is to the west, and Moscar Cross is to the northeast. Seven stones are presently (2017) visible with a further three stones, now recumbent and hidden, discovered in 1992. Some authorities believe that the circle might have once comprised 26 stones.[2]
The stone circle is approximately 15mto16mm (49feetto52feetm) in diameter, with eleven stones between 45 cm and 95 cm high extant upright.
