Just 260 metres to the northnorthwest of Barbrook I circle lies its sister Barbrook II. Although it is embanked, like other Derbyshire stone circles, what sets this one apart is that the stones are now set into drystone walling contained within a rubble bank. Although it may have been built like this originally, what can be seen today is the result of rebuilding work undertaken around 1989.
The nine stones (it is thought there were originally 10) within this wall are typical of the area, all less than a metre in height, with a larger stone to the west, very similar to Barbrook I and the circle has a diameter of around 14 metres with an entrance to the northeast. Inside the circle, but to the west are the remains of a stone piled cairn and just next to this cairn is what is believed to be a cist cover that has 3 or 4 cups and a faint chevron carved into it. I first visited this site in the mid 1990's and the following notes accompanied the photograph on this page (now replaced with something better).
'The photograph above does not do this interesting circle justice, the day I was there was fiercely windy and sleety and I had problems just standing still long enough to get the pictures that I did without being blown off the hillside. Indeed while I was there, a rainbow briefly appeared to the east but sadly the resulting picture didn't do that justice either - ahh, the British weather..... I'll have to return on a nicer day to get a better picture and to catch up on Barbrook III.'

Between the two circles next to the track that runs close by is a stone row of half a dozen or so rocks that may once been a part of a Bronze Age field system while the area to the north and west contains an extensive cairn field - I counted at least a dozen in various states of preservation although there are probably many more that I didn't find.
