The Peak District in the mist

What are the round flat stones? They look like grinding stones.and why are there so many just lying around?
Hi Don, this area of the Derbyshire Peak District is famous for the Millstone Grit rocks. In days gone by there was a huge industry here making millstones, the rock was literally split apart and fashioned into the round stones on site. What you see lying around are unfinished or unwanted stones that were just left where they lay and have been there ever since, some for hundreds of years. The two images that show these stones are in a part of Padley Gorge that was clearly a small quarry.
Kind Regards
