Knowlton Rings, a ruined 12th century church, within the banks of a Neolithic henge, which itself was part of a much larger monument complex, forms one of the most interesting archaeological sites in Dorset, if not nationally. The interesting blending of pagan and Christian suggests that an earlier spiritual relevance of the site was maintained by the local population even after the adoption of Christianity; even today the site is frequently used by pagans, wiccans and Druids for rituals.
