Moscar Cross is the name of a standing stone (or "guide stoop") and surrounding area in the Peak District on the border between Derbyshire and Sheffield, England.
Moscar moor is located south of the cross,[1] and contains a stone circle, Hordron Edge stone circle.[2]
The current Moscar Cross (also known as "Humblestone Cross"; grid reference SK231883), is a guide stoop erected in the 18th century, at a parish boundary and packhorse track junction. It is thought a cross existed at the point during earlier periods. The name 'Moscar' is thought to derive from to 'moss' (mos) and 'carr' (kjarr) both referring to marshy areas.[3][4][5] Moscar Cross has been claimed as the location of 'Whitcross' in Charlotte Brontë's novel Jane Eyre.[6]
