The majority of the stones at Arbor Low have been broken at ground level. Next to most of the toppled stones you can see a stump left in the ground. If you examine the stones carefully, you can see where they fit onto their relevant stumps.
How do I know this?
I`ve been fortunate enough to spend a morning at Arbor Low with John Barnatt, Senior Survey Archaeologist for the Peak District National Park, who showed me!
It`s all so bleedingly obvious, when it`s been pointed out by THE expert.
