An inquest into the death of a man allegedly murdered "in the most brutal way" at a summer solstice event at a Bronze Age stone circle has begun.
Coroner Susan Evans opened the inquest into the death of Isaac Clare-Watts at Chesterfield Coroner's Court on Monday.
She said she had not yet received the findings of a post-mortem examination that would reveal the cause of death.
The 26-year-old's body was found near the Nine Ladies Stone Circle in Stanton Lees, in the Peak District, at about 1.38pm on 22 June.
Polish national Szymon Babynko, 23, of Commonwealth Way, London, has been charged with Mr Clare-Watts' murder.
He is also accused of attempted murder in relation to an incident in Hady Lane, Chesterfield, Derbyshire, on 25 June.
At the hearing, Ms Evans said: "I'm opening the inquest touching on the death of Isaac Clare-Watts.
"He was identified at the LRI (Leicester Royal Infirmary) mortuary by his mother Christy Clare on the 24th of June 2026.
"I am yet to receive the full post-mortem report."
Ms Evans said the inquest would be suspended until criminal proceedings had been concluded and expressed her condolences to Mr Clare-Watts' family.

Babynko is next due to appear at Derby Crown Court on 25 September and is expected to go on trial in November or March next year.
Detective Inspector Tony Owen, from the East Midlands Special Operations Unit (EMSOU), who is leading the investigation, has previously said Mr Clare-Watts died "in the most brutal way", as he appealed for witnesses to come forward.
Last month he said in a statement: "A young man's life has been taken in the most brutal way so it is vital that myself and the team build up a clear picture of the exact circumstances surrounding his death."
The coroner said Mr Clare-Watts, who was a carpenter from Carrington in Nottingham, died in a grassland area near the early Bronze Age stone circle.
The Nine Ladies Stone Circle is "traditionally believed to depict nine ladies turned to stone as a penalty for dancing on Sunday", according to English Heritage.
