Report on a Romano-British temple complex just southwest of Devil's Dyke and overlooking a Roman villa 1km away in Reach, to which the site appears linked by a trackway. The complex consisted of a main compound, defined by a palisade trench, containing three subsidiary areas: the large outer enclosure may represent a funerary precinct or temenos. Placed centrally within it is a rectangular area, itself subdivided, which, on the basis of cropmark evidence, contains a possible shrine or temple. To the north, post-dating the central enclosure, an internal double-ditched courtyard surrounds a circular feature and associated square structure, possibly a second shrine or temple. Within the third enclosure to the southwest a small single-celled building may represent another shrine or mausoleum. On the basis of artefactual evidence, the whole complex appears to have been short lived, the main focus being the first century and earlier half of the second century. The site was subsequently abandoned and was reused by Early Anglo-Saxons as a burial ground. An undated adult inhumation was found within demolition debris associated with the shrine/mausoleum located within the southwestern enclosure, while seven further inhumations were scattered across the investigation site. Two were identified as Anglo-Saxon on the basis of associated grave goods. The remaining graves were not excavated and may have been late Roman or Anglo-Saxon in date.
