The Giant's ring is a large earthwork circle, roughly 200m across, built about 2700 BCE during the Neolithic period. This is one of the finest in Britain and Ireland. In the middle is a tomb (now known as a dolmen) made up of five upright stones and a capstone, the bare frame of what was originally a chamber grave, covered with a cairn of stones and earth.
