Lees Rd used to be a very industrial site in the 17th & 18th century. Arkwright built his first mills at Cromford, and the Cromford canal to carry his products to the world. The remnants of quarrying, mining and water mills litter the landscape around Matlock.
Interesting possibility! These blocks look fairly finished though, and would they destruct, then reuse them, perhaps? Seems a waste of materials to just leave them around, especially in Industrial times, and there are so many. It's an interesting find, certainly.
Monument record MDR14149 - Lee Cross Quarry, Lees Road, Stanton Lees, Stanton in the Peak-SANDSTONE QUARRY (Georgian to Mid 20th Century - 1800 AD to 1950 AD) took 5 minutes on google.
I would suggest whoever declared it a "quarry" might not have wanted a historian to look at it, because then they couldn't have put a road right next to it.
That's strange. I looked up MDR14149 it said it was for Roofing Slates. It said grey slate. Wasn't the place Paul filmed, sandstone? Is it the same place?
Sandstone has more erosion marks by the time, especially in scottland. These stones do not lay there in this condition for a so long time. Around 1000ys maybe, but not 2000 or more.
That term easy tiger brings me back to my childhood. Everytime i would run around and act a fool an adult would say, "easy tiger, calm down! " Love it mate
That's cute!! I heard that from time to time with my next door neighbor's two boys...(Hailing from Albuquerque, New Mexico, bud!! I mean, "Mate!!" LOL!!)... Blessings!!
Looks like a castle exploded. A long time ago. I drove by the place where the Rocky Butte jail used to be yesterday. An old world Tartarian type of jail that used to exist in Portland Oregon. The site is completely cleared of identifiable blocks and nothing else has been built there but it just made the stand of Alder and Birch trees that's there stand out all the more. Exactly where the building and grounds were, there's now a stand of trees, different than the Evergreens in the area and clearly planted not so long ago. Great find Paul!
i agree with your dating..there are similiar wall builds and repairs alongside parts of the canal near me, West Yorkshire, and the canals were started in 1790..and are in fact incredible feats of engineering , especialkly for the time, and still fully funcional..so, like ,built by ,navvies with shovels and heavy wooden wheelbarrows, and putting huge stone blocks in place with rope pullies ...thanks great content, fascinating place, and, yeah, seems theres something much older there 👍
Matlock. Excellent. Live 15 mins away. I’ve been telling my kids for years now that something very suspicious happened in the Peak District. I think the whole area has been smashed. Could the old world structures that you look at have been made for desalination and water purification. It would explain rock salt
That place is amazing!! It’s hard to imagine how grand the structure was before it was destroyed. So much of it absolutely everywhere! I wonder if some clever scientist could do a laser scan of the entire area and maybe attempt to reconstruct it on a computer or an AI program or something like that? Great find as always!!
Paul you should revisit with a metal detector. See if you can find any ancient tools or fasteners? I imagine there’d be ancient nails and such lying around the rubble.
He can't, it's a tourist attraction and registered monument, he would literally go to jail. There's a youtube video showcasing it called "The Derbyshire Peak District - Stanton Moor". There are paths that you can use to walk around.
Yes we want more stuff. I can’t watch anyone else now talking about old world structures. 5 mins in and I’m shouting at them to get over here. Graham Hancock. Nah your alright mate. I’ll stay here
I would say this was a sort of quarry from early industrialization, as some of the stones bear clear marks of mechanical drilling tools. The variations of shapes, i.e., the blocks with semi-circles, indicates that the place was used to make stones for use elsewhere.
It certainly could be. Finally found it on Google Maps. The area Paul seems to focus on the most is immediately north of Stanton Lees. Zooming out one can see dozens and dozens of modern quarries--seems like every fifth farmer has opened a quarry on his land. And there are a couple of stone circles nearby, so people have been quarrying stone in the area for many thousands of years. Very cool stuff.
It's looking very similar to the ancient sites in Cambodia, which I'm currently going through, another 1100 pics and some vids to sort out and I'll show you
This is a quarry. It is clearly visible. Crane base (the small towers). The piles of stones are discarded material. This was a large industry before the time of concrete. It looks exactly the same as here in our region.
No, ancient aliens didn't use cranes, so clearly they can't be crane bases. And ancient aliens didn't need quarries anyway because they had advanced materials, or something.
@ Yes, that's how it seems to outsiders, sometimes more material is thrown away in a quarry than is taken away, and when making blocks from fragments, a lot of waste is produced with surfaces that have already been split. As I said, it looks exactly like the sandstone quarries in our region. Today there are still four in the Saxon Sandstone Mountains area. 150 years ago there were over 900. Also unimaginable.
Thank you Paul. Have u ever considered bringing a good psychic with U and see & hear what the psychic feels about the place? Your vids are of good quality & so interesting. Thank U ❤
At 11:24 those square blocks in the window have the same type of marks you see in other megaliths all over the world. The pillars too are insane, this is an incredible find
Love going on the excursions with you. Feels like your right there with you .On the lidar it kind of reminded me of the old star forts or an old castle. What an awesome find. Keep up the amazing work. I never get tired of it!❤
Indeed the imprints are half of a drillhole. One of the older ways to split stone, in colder regions. Was to drill a row of holes, and fill it with water at the end of day. At night the water turned to ice, expanded, and cracked the rock. As these rocks are not perfectly cut, I guess they used a method similar to this.
Dem stones Dem stones. Looks like an eye or a face at 07 29. That is a huge discovery Paul. Well done matey. It must be a fortress of some kind pulled down.
There is an Old Quarry, including a crane, shown within Stanton Moor Plantation on the 1st edition 25" Ordnance Survey map of c. 1880. (2) The 2nd edition 25" Ordnance Survey map of c. 1900 shows a quarry named Lees Quarries having taken over the area. (3) Modern maps show Lees Cross Quarries as disused. (4)
I would expect the wall was built to hold up the mountain roadside. The ferns and moss grow due to groundwater source. The structure could be a metal foundry. Indeed magical place, thanks for sharing.
Nice work! What are they mining? If its metals and If the site is preflood then there should be a ceremony site in connection with the mine and it might be what you are showing us toward the end of the video. The giants were deeply religious and sacrificial there alters are on the high points. And were designed to catch body fluids. In case you come across one. I have heard a very creepy story about the underground catacombs in Malta, take care there is general knowledge of giants in recent times in both Malta and the Solomon islands and Afghanistan. rumours they still exist underground
Things to take with you next time: a compass - does it behave normally around the site? A small metal detector and trowel. (remember to geotag and photograph any finds, in situ, if you intend to show others.) Have a look into dowsing rods - they might help. A set square for measuring angles. A small bag of iron filings - for occasional experiments with field line detection. The site looks exploded, not dismantled. Look for burnt stone surfaces.
What you found is a dump side for old stone blocks from an old building. All those blocks were transported by dump truck & dumped there. Perhaps blocks from a old manor or some other 19th century building. Or was a stone quarry site. Or a bit of both (Old Quarry used for landfill)
That is a drilled hole which you could have done with an iron rod by hitting it and then turning it, you would then put possibly wooden splints in there and pour water onto it to make them expand.
Is that Matlock in the peak district? If so, then it likely railway stone, cut to build the rail roads. The peak districts' history has been cut away 1 hill at a time. As a local, hills that were here as a kid, 40 years ago are now flat fields, you only need speak to any old resident of Buxton
It does look like a quarry and the trees are not that old. The wall is there to protect the road from debris. But why have a quarry and leave the stone?
120 feet tall? No more like 12 foot tall. Matlock in Derbyshire, so the stonework is probably industrial archaeology rather than a megalithic structure. Please learn about archaeology before making such baseless claims.
Fun fact: Ancient Egypt used to get a lot of it's tin From the English Isles and parts of Europe. It's hard to imagine their influence wouldn't have made it to these areas.
Yes, I think the Romans ruled from British Isles to Egypt at least. There seems to be signs here in Aussie.. Roman Army was never conquered really. The Romans merely infiltrated the governments of many of the countries they conquered. Did I mention Italy and the Vatican rise to Power>
I'm an American by nationality, but of English & Scot heritage. I found it interesting that my DNA tests revealed pure decent from those people's, but there was just a trace of Mediterranean decent. I bet some young Roman solider found one of my predecessors to be irresistible. The Romans on station there intermarried, and spent their lives there.
My thoughts exactly. Not to comment on the age of it, I am in no way qualified to even guess but it does resemble a couple of old quarries in my local area.
Derbyshire probably the most Quarried country in the UK. Being Matlock in the white peak it's more likely limestone or milestone grit if brought from elsewhere in the country. The top is likely to be the a quarry and the blocks and walls possibly a retainer to protect the valley below. You'll find a lot of this all over the county.
Paul…….leave a piece of land in the UK for 100 years and it will be completely covered from trees and plants just from that from natural regeneration this isn’t as it is it’s been forgotten about Britain is full of the structures . this one looks really interesting Keep up the good work
At St Helens, an old hall was demolished, I believe for a new hospital or carehome type thing. There is lots of architectural rubble all around some lanes, where it was dumped on verges and in ditches. I expect you have found similar, coinciding with the dumped spoils of an old quarry. that doesnt mean its not interesting though! Thanks for the vid.
I'm sorry to prick your bubble, but there never was a grand structure here. What Paul has found is evidence of a lot of quarrying of stone over a long period of time, and perhaps where the quarry bosses have had their employees build walls (of largely undressed stone - i.e. they used whatever came to hand some of the time) to keep them working when times were slack, to enclose spoil heaps when the quarry waste (a lot of loose rubble) was tending to spill over the road, and possibly as walls of yards or sheds or quarry buildings whose wood has been removed or rotted, leaving no trace of what was once there. So many changes have taken place over the many centuries of stone working, and subsequent abandonment, that it is difficult to make sense of it all ... but that is the [unexciting] explanation for what we can see here.
These ruins are next to the 9 Ladies Stone Circle. It’s also next to The Reform Tower. The tower was a folly built in the 19th century. But the stones used to build the tower looking awful a lot like the stones that you came across. I wonder if there was something like a monastery or Hill Fort where you found the ruins and if the person that built, the Folly used stone from your location you have on here.
Very Good Video Paul , and Very Good Work in your Amazing Trip Yes in KORAN mentioned that { Walk Through the Earth you will Find How Ancient Were More People than yours and More Scattered through the Earth than yours } this Site in Scotland that you Visited and showing was Something like Town that existed there and left over Years and Years until it merged with plants and Land there and the Town buildings were Destroyed in some of there Parts
To see the street view just click on the roud just under the red pin marker. You can then drag your miuse pointer along the road and see a good view of an identical wall and all the waste rubble in the background.
That's an awesome find bud, and definitely, some sort of structure was demolished, and we all care what your opinion is, bro! Easy tigers! Keep up the amazing work.
I did see that wall by the road described in a photo as "A fine revetted spoil heap in lees cross quarry" But there are so many ancient and curious and interesting things in that small area! Thanks for the heads up.
Watch 11:45 and 12:13. At 1145 that looks like a bucket for a backhoe next to a large steel I beam. At 12:13 that looks like a part or a anchor concreted into the ground with a bolt run through the middle of it. 12:13 also resembles WW2 German antenna mounts. Just my thoughts. Super cool videos! Thank You
Very interesting thank you, i use to do the same always out in the forest and nature most of what people think is natral looks like its been there forever in cologne outside arias Descover many remnants, stone brocken buildings, buried over grown Moss green ferns, big trees silver birches & Tanna evergreen trees Then begin to see signs Nature overcoming previously built on forests now covered it takes a very Close look You have done brilliantly keep going great find
You and I Should get a stream up together sometime.... I could interview you on late night live about highlights .. insights ... and things you've learned ... we could talk mudflood and stream it everywhere to all our channels and get tons of views and new subs !! Lmk
You should canvass that area with a metal detector, you could find clues to what was there. I also wonder what could have blown apart or taken apart that structure that was once there? 🧐🤔😯
during the dissolution of the monasteries they deconstructed castles and abbeys and huge stone buildings just a thought they don't have to cover this stuff with trees and soil nature will do that xx
And after deconstruction they hauled everything to the world's fair and reasimbled .....only to tossing it all away because they were done fronting and convincing others cf their legitimacy? Wow, they had some extra time on their bloody hands....😮
American here. In our southwest canyon country, there are many ruins. These cliff dwellings are reached by exactly the same type of steps carved into the cliffs. They're called "mokie steps" by most folks that haunt the back country. Usually between 800 and 1500 years old. It would seem that whoever carved those in your photo had been to the American Southwest.
These are megalithic buildings that have already been used and reassembled many times, it is clear that somewhere they tried to recreate polygonal masonry, and somewhere later rough mounds. The last attempt to rebuild the blocks was most likely already after the disaster of 1815-1850, during those years of cold and lean summers...Greetings from Russia! Good luck to everyone! Hugging everyone!
Love this place. Imo the entire mountain has an ancient complex inside, when u explore around there are massive holes looking like old entrances. Also even the soil has high levels of quartz, common at these sites
Nice find. I lived up there in the in 1981 for 6 months, actually near a quarry at Pilough and also near a stone circle, but i don't recall seeing this wall and site. As for these blocks, it is unlikely that quarried and cut stone would just be piled up and let there, so i think it might well have some interesting history but where to look for any records? As you say you have not found anything relating to this site so far. As for the wall, someone has made the effort to fit pieces together (like at other sites around the world) but sometimes fairly loosely whilst some are fitted well. The curved stone pieces are intriguing too.
have to agree i live in wales and spent a lot of time living in Manchester most stone was sourced locally. and they tended to be small. and i would class this as a small sandstone.. and that tends to be soft and easy to work after its been harvested and in time it hardens.. so its nice and easy to carve.. this may have been for a stately home or for housing or even canals bank.. and then its just been abandoned over time.. i would say its over a 100 years old may be more as the trees take time to spread and by the height of the trees.. your walking over arches and stuff..

That was my first thought as well. However, it appears to large for that. But who knows.
Sandstone has more erosion marks by the time, especially in scottland. These stones do not lay there in this condition for a so long time. Around 1000ys maybe, but not 2000 or more.

this Site in Scotland that you Visited and showing was Something like Town that existed there and left over Years and Years until it merged with plants and Land there and the Town buildings were Destroyed in some of there Parts
That's what it looks like & seems like to me tooooo😮
To see the street view just click on the roud just under the red pin marker. You can then drag your miuse pointer along the road and see a good view of an identical wall and all the waste rubble in the background.
That's an awesome find bud, and definitely, some sort of structure was demolished, and we all care what your opinion is, bro! Easy tigers! Keep up the amazing work.
To me it seems like it could have been a quarry or a castle. Doesn't seem like anything out of the ordinary oddly enough.
I did see that wall by the road described in a photo as "A fine revetted spoil heap in lees cross quarry"
But there are so many ancient and curious and interesting things in that small area! Thanks for the heads up.
I love this one Paul.. this place is very mysterious. Gtsy 😃🍊
It's a quarry. Have a look at Endcliffe quarry in nearby Stanton Lees which is about 4or5 miles away from Matlock.
Looks like Puzzlewood near me in the Forest of Dean!
Paul! New location? Oh mate 😮
Wow the engineering is so good, ya can stick a f**kin 2x4 inbetween the boulders. Its a wall... just a wall.
Beautiful find, definitely a fortification for someone, or something important.
Picture of person atop the large 'stone' w/a chiseled steps, reminds me of a Sphinx picture.
Watch 11:45 and 12:13. At 1145 that looks like a bucket for a backhoe next to a large steel I beam. At 12:13 that looks like a part or a anchor concreted into the ground with a bolt run through the middle of it. 12:13 also resembles WW2 German antenna mounts. Just my thoughts. Super cool videos! Thank You
Very interesting thank you, i use to do the same always out in the forest and nature most of what people think is natral looks like its been there forever in cologne outside arias
Descover many remnants, stone brocken buildings, buried over grown Moss green ferns, big trees silver birches & Tanna evergreen trees
Then begin to see signs
Nature overcoming previously built on forests now covered it takes a very Close look
You have done brilliantly keep going great find
That nice smooth groove is a hole from a rock drill after the rock was split.
Amazing find brother keep up the great work 💪
Looks like an old sandstone quarry.
Nice 👊
My nickname was " LIDAR" in high school bruh
You and I Should get a stream up together sometime.... I could interview you on late night live about highlights .. insights ... and things you've learned ... we could talk mudflood and stream it everywhere to all our channels and get tons of views and new subs !! Lmk
🤜🤛
Great Video @Paul, Dark to Light.. keep up the good work 🙌🏻
Fantastic!
Love what U do.
Thank U
Amazing site. Quite recent it looks from the way the blocks are cut. Still, what a crazy project.
You should canvass that area with a metal detector, you could find clues to what was there. I also wonder what could have blown apart or taken apart that structure that was once there? 🧐🤔😯
You are onto something , Im a prospector and studied geology , that is an ancient site.
Fascinating! Thanks 👍🐯
during the dissolution of the monasteries they deconstructed castles and abbeys and huge stone buildings just a thought they don't have to cover this stuff with trees and soil nature will do that xx
That's seriously a run on sentence....
@@Hollywoodhouse74 what do you mean ?
@@wightcatladydavies65 learn to write ✍️
And after deconstruction they hauled everything to the world's fair and reasimbled .....only to tossing it all away because they were done fronting and convincing others cf their legitimacy?
Wow, they had some extra time on their bloody hands....😮
@@wightcatladydavies65they were being the grammar police...you didn't use punctuation marks.
American here. In our southwest canyon country, there are many ruins. These cliff dwellings are reached by exactly the same type of steps carved into the cliffs. They're called "mokie steps" by most folks that haunt the back country. Usually between 800 and 1500 years old.
It would seem that whoever carved those in your photo had been to the American Southwest.
Wow man excellent work. Where would I go to on net to look at lydar for Alaska ? Thanks man
Fascinating! Thank you for sharing!
These are megalithic buildings that have already been used and reassembled many times, it is clear that somewhere they tried to recreate polygonal masonry, and somewhere later rough mounds. The last attempt to rebuild the blocks was most likely already after the disaster of 1815-1850, during those years of cold and lean summers...Greetings from Russia! Good luck to everyone! Hugging everyone!
It's a sandstone quarry. Sandstone is easy to cut and build with. I would immagine the town nearby is buit with most of the blocks from this quarry.
5:57 what’s underneath,is my question.
Thanks Paul 😊✌🏻✌🏻
This is bloody amazing!!!
Looks like someone’s been trying to get rid of a pyramid structure of sorts…great find
Love this place. Imo the entire mountain has an ancient complex inside, when u explore around there are massive holes looking like old entrances. Also even the soil has high levels of quartz, common at these sites
Nice find. I lived up there in the in 1981 for 6 months, actually near a quarry at Pilough and also near a stone circle, but i don't recall seeing this wall and site. As for these blocks, it is unlikely that quarried and cut stone would just be piled up and let there, so i think it might well have some interesting history but where to look for any records? As you say you have not found anything relating to this site so far. As for the wall, someone has made the effort to fit pieces together (like at other sites around the world) but sometimes fairly loosely whilst some are fitted well. The curved stone pieces are intriguing too.
Thankyou for showing us.
From the lidar, it looks like ancient quarry.
Could you give a short sneak preview , is this in the UK?
Yes
Matlock
Should bring a metal detector and have a look around while there...just a thought.
After seeing the destruction in the US states of North Carolina & Tennessee it adds a new view point to ancient formations.
have to agree i live in wales and spent a lot of time living in Manchester most stone was sourced locally. and they tended to be small. and i would class this as a small sandstone.. and that tends to be soft and easy to work after its been harvested and in time it hardens.. so its nice and easy to carve.. this may have been for a stately home or for housing or even canals bank.. and then its just been abandoned over time.. i would say its over a 100 years old may be more as the trees take time to spread and by the height of the trees.. your walking over arches and stuff..
Amazing find!! go back and do some digging around 👍
It's a molly woggle...
☠☠☠ get out of me molly-woggle, ya bastid ☠☠☠
