. Arbor Low is one of the most important prehistoric monuments in Britain. Located on a plateau 375m (1230ft) above sea level, it contains a number of interesting features. The circle-henge was almost certainly constructed in a number of phases during the 3rd millennium BC. The long barrow of Gib Hill close by (GR: SK158634) was probably the original focus on the site before the oval bank and ditch of the henge, with its two entrances to the north-west and south-south-east, were established in the Late Neolithic period.
