Arbor Low

Arbor Low is a well-preserved Neolithic henge in the Derbyshire Peak District, England [1]. It lies on a Carboniferous Limestone plateau known as the White Peak area [1]. The monument consists of a stone circle surrounded by earthworks and a ditch [1]. The monument includes about 50 large limestone blocks, quarried from a local site, which form an egg-shaped circle [1]. In the centre of the circle lie at least six smaller blocks known as the cove, originally believed to have been set in a rectangle [1]. Human skeletal remains were discovered close to the cove during excavations between 1901 and 1902 [1]. Other finds have included flint scrapers, arrowheads, and bone and antler tools [1]. The bank and ditch of the henge, as well as its two entrances, were probably established in the Late Neolithic period, with the stones added later, sometime before 2000 BCE [1].
