  Arbor Low Stone Circle, Derbyshire
Arbor Low is one of the most important prehistoric sites in Derbyshire.
Arbor Low dates to the Neolithic / Early Bronze Age period, and the surrounding landscape is littered with barrows from the Late Bronze Age, constructed around a thousand years after the henge was completed.
One of these barrows was incorporated into the henge bank, and the largest barrow known as Gib Hill, is only a short walk away towards the South.
