Arbor Low Stone Circle
Overview
The most important prehistoric site of the East Midlands, Arbor Low is a Neolithic henge monument atmospherically set amid high moorland. Some say that this is the finest Stone Age 'henge' monument in the North of England. A site of unique archaeological and cultural interest.
Within an earthen bank and ditch, a circle of some 50 white limestone slabs, all now fallen, surrounds a central stone ‘cove’ – a feature found only in major sacred sites.
Nearby is enigmatic Gib Hill, a large burial mound.
