My wife and I came across this neatly done area on Hill near Birksworth in Derbyshire Dales.

Andy,
The stardisc is above the town of Wirksworth and was the brainchild of a member of my previous astronomy group (White Peaks Observation Group) who’s base is at Hopton Hall a little way west of the stardisc.

  Thanks for this information. My wife and I wondered if a local astronomy society has been involved in it.

Andy,
The stardisc is above the town of Warksworth and was the brainchild of a member of my previous astronomy group (White Peaks Observation Group) who’s base is at Hopton Hall a little way north of the stardisc.
