Description
Garden feature consisting of a stone circle and six urns.
MATERIALS: artificial stone.
PLAN: the Witches’ Circle is located at the southern end of the Green Terrace, on its west side. It is surrounded by a low hedge with openings for six grass paths which radiate from the main circular feature.
EXTERIOR: the Witches’ Circle survives in a simplified form as a low stone circle surrounded by six urns on pedestals. The stone circle, which is now very overgrown, appeared originally to have six ball finials positioned at regular intervals but only two survive, one of which has toppled from its position. In the centre of the circle is a swagged urn with a domed top.
The six urns surrounding the circle rest upon circular plinths on hexagonal bases. The urns are shallow with wide rims and flaring bases. Around the main part of each urn is a pair of writhing, intertwined snakes.
