Wanborough Romano-Celtic temple

Excavation by SyAS following on from a geophysical survey by EH, directed by D Williams, assisted by David Graham, and aided by volunteer diggers, of amongst other things, a new circular temple a short distance from the square temple complex robbed for several years by metal detectorists. The original purpose of the excavation was to define an area to be Scheduled, but due to the history of vandalism, it was decided to fully excavate the temple. A hoard of coins of cAD 50-60 may indicate when the temple was first built, and a pit cut into its backfill after it had probably gone out of use is of 2nd century date. (329, 332, 333)
