description Maumbury Rings Overview
Maumbury Rings is a prehistoric earthwork in Dorchester, Dorset, England. The site began as a Neolithic henge, a circular monument defined by an earth bank and ditch, and was later adapted by the Romans as an amphitheatre for the town of Durnovaria. The earthworks were also modified during the English Civil War, so the monument records several distinct phases of use and is relevant to visitors studying prehistoric ritual sites, Roman Britain, and later military history.
