Click and drag your mouse
in the picture to scroll around the countryside surrounding Arbor
Low. The panorama is taken from the southern bank of the henge with
the initial view looking north across the oval of fallen stones. Scrolling
to the left a low earth avenue is just about visible heading off towards
a small clump of trees with distant hills beyond. Gib Hill barrow
stands a short distance to the right of these trees and also has the
same hills behind it. Scrolling right from the circle the southeastern
causeway passing over the ditch is clearly visible as is a later damaged
round barrow that can be seen superimposed on the bank just above
the entrance. A fallen stone in the foreground may represent an entrance
stone. |
