Description

Beeley Moor - Hob Hurst's House, Derbyshire. The information board reads as follows :- There are numerous prehistoric mounds on these moors, many marking late Neolithic and early Bronze Age burial sites. Built by local families in their fields and open pastures to contain the bones of 'ancestors', the mounds were visible symbols of community sense of place. However Hob Hurst's House is unique with its square central mound, ditch and outer bank. Hob Hurst's House was one of the first monuments in Britain to be taken into state care, through the Ancient Monuments Protection Act of 1882. The stone bollards, inscribed VR which surround the site, were erected at that time.

The curious name Hob Hurst's House, refers to a mythical hobgoblin who haunted nearby woods.
