Arbor Low is a Neolithic henge monument located on the limestone plateau of the White Peak in Derbyshire, dating to approximately 3000 BCE. The site comprises a substantial circular bank and ditch enclosing an irregular arrangement of recumbent limestone blocks, along with an associated bowl barrow situated to the south-west. The monument's earthworks remain prominent, though the stone circle itself now lies largely prostrate, having been deliberately toppled in antiquity or through natural subsidence. Arbor Low represents an important example of henge construction in the Peak District region and has long been recognised as a significant ceremonial or ritual landscape feature of the Neolithic period.
