This has been a special place for local people for over 4,500 years, but because of the time which has elapsed since it was built, we can only guess at the many kinds of cativities which took place in and around its stones and earthworks.

The monument was started in the Neolithic period, probbly between 3,000 and 2,500 BC.

The building of Arbor Low was a considerable feat of organisational and engineering skill carried out over many years.

The stone circle and central setting of slabs were originally set upright, but they still would not have been visible from outside the henge.
