Sacred Geography – The Hope Valley Basin

Mam Tor is a 517 m (1,696 ft) hill near Castleton in the High Peak of Derbyshire, England. It lies within the Hope Valley. It is at the centre of a vast sacred ‘Pagan’ site - an Egg shaped bowl, several miles across. This whole area has a great number of ancient monuments – barrows, circles, mounds and standing stones in an ancient landscape.

===========================
DESECRATION AND DEGRADATION

This area is managed by the National Trust, and is within the Peak District National Park
It is theoretically a scheduled monument, but the damage and desecration done to this sacred site is appalling.
The Romans mined the area for lead, stones were removed for walls and farm buildings.
The whole area has been quarried, and is pocked by quarrying scars. There is a very ugly cement works visible for miles within the sacred area and the site has been the victim of road building and inept excavations.
Mam Tor was almost levelled by the erection of a Home Guard post during World War II and has even more recently been levelled off and a trig point erected.
The collapse of the sacred mountain was caused by bungled excavation.
A shameful record of ignorance, greed and arrogance.
