The Black Down stone circle consists of five "totems" built from local Forest Marble stone. One is aligned with true north, and the other four with midwinter and midsummer solstice sunrises and sunsets. In good weather at each of these times, the suns full disc will shine through the opening of the totems, lighting up the central rock of Portland stone, providing a modern take on ancient monuments.

Dominating the Dorset landscape, Maiden Castle is one of Europe’s largest and most complex Iron Age hillforts. Its massive, labyrinthine earthworks were engineered around 400 BC to protect a thriving community of hundreds. The site is famous for its "war cemetery," detailing a fierce struggle against the Roman Second Legion in 43 AD. Today, its sweeping ramparts remain a masterclass in ancient defensive architecture.

Built atop the massive Iron Age earthworks of Maiden Castle, this small Romano-British temple dates to the 4th century AD. It reflects a late pagan revival, featuring a classic square-within-a-square design. Located in Dorset, its ruins offer a haunting blend of Roman architecture and ancient Celtic fortification.

It is very impressive to walk along the extensive ramparts and enjoy the view of the surrounding countryside.
