Description:  A Romano Celtic temple and earlier ritual shaft on Jordan Hill. Coins recovered from the shaft suggest that it was constructed during the early Roman period and eventually sealed during the Theodosian period. Overlying the shaft was a structure interpreted as the cella of a Romano-Celtic temple. Also possible signal station. Nearby is a cemetery, thought to date from the late Iron Age and continuing into the Roman period.
