Maumbury Rings looking through the northeast entrance, the entrance at the opposite end is a later modification.
The monument started life as a Neolithic Henge but when the Romans built the town of Durnovaria (modern Dorchester) they removed some of the height from the bank and filled the internal ditch to create an amphitheatre.
