Gib Hill, Bronze Age burial mound near Arbor Low Stone Circle in Derbyshire, England.
The oval barrow rises 5 meters high with a diameter of 10 meters, featuring a stone cist at its summit near Middleton-by-Youlgreave.
Three excavations in the 19th century revealed a Neolithic oval barrow with an Early Bronze Age round barrow superimposed at one end.
The burial mound contains four distinct layers of red clay mixed with burnt bone remains, flint pieces, and hazel twigs from ancient ceremonies.
Access to the site requires passage through private farmland, where visitors deposit admission fees in a collection tin at the small parking area.
The structure combines two different burial periods, with the underlying long barrow dating approximately 6000 years before the Bronze Age addition.
