Prehistoric Sites in Derbyshire



 Arbor Low
  

Arbor Low Henge monument with the addition of a later stone circle. A Bronze Age round barrow was later grafted onto the rear of the site. Arbor Low has been called the finest henge monument in the north of England. The site is composed of a henge with the addition of a later stone circle. The outer bank of the henge is roughly circular, measuring about 259 x 246 feet in diameter. Within the bank is a ditch about 6 feet deep and 30 feet wide. The weathered limestone stones are not standing, but lie in a rough circle pointing outwards. There is no firm evidence to suggest whether the stones were originally standing or not; speculation exists that they were knocked down by zealous Christians, but they may also have been laid down by the builders of the circle. more...

 Nine Ladies Stone Circle
  

Nine Ladies Stone Circle A small circle of nine stones, with an outlying stone some 40 metres away. The location is wonderful, though somewhat unusual in that the circle is surrounded by woods. Most of the stone circles that I personally have visited have been in much more exposed locations. In this case the location gives an atmosphere of quiet and sheltered peace. There is an interpretive panel on the site. more...
