Arbor Low Stone Circle, Derbyshire: Report on Geophysical Survey Report, May 2011
Author(s): Neil Linford
A Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) survey was conducted over the location of a hole, measuring approximately 0.5m x 0.5m, that has opened up to the north-west of the Arbor Low henge, Derbyshire (SK 1602 6350, Monument number 11503). The full depth of the collapse is not clear and it was hoped that a GPR survey might resolve this issue and inform a suitable programme of mitigation to ensure the hole does not pose any continued hazard to visitors to the site. The GPR survey successfully imaged the immediate area of the collapse and suggests the hole may be related to a linear anomaly leading from the north-western causeway of the henge partially recorded by a previous magnetic survey.
