May I put a couple of points forward here? As someone who no longer lives in the area I cannot see that an earthwork on top of the Coppice which would be invisible from ground level would encourage any future visitors to go up there as they probably wouldn't be aware of it once the novelty had worn off and it no longer featured in local press.

Having said that, if you are trying to attract people to the area would it not make more sense to have something which can be seen and which people would notice and hopefully subsequently talk about? (Like the Angel of the North which has been mentioned elsewhere.) Even a piece of modern sculpture at the front of the Coppice on a level with the monument would seem more sensible than mounds or circles of earth visible only from above.
