Long Barrow and Round Barrow in Derbyshire. As Arbor Low has been described as The Stonehenge of the North, so Gib Hill has been called A miniature Silbury Hill. It appears at first glance to be a fine example of a Bronze Age round barrow, however, archaeological evidence reveals that it is actually two barrows with a Bronze Age round barrow superimposed on top of an earlier Neolithic long barrow.
