Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Between May and July 2008, Northamptonshire Archaeology (now MOLA Northampton) excavated two archaeological sites at Rutland Water prior to the construction of a new lagoon by Anglian Water, facilitating future wildlife conservation of the wetland habitat. The lagoon is located to the west of Rutland Water, near Egleton, Rutland. Site 1 was a large rectangular middle Iron Age enclosure of the fourth to first centuries BC, with a roundhouse located outside the eastern entrance. Site 2 was a Roman circular stone shrine constructed in the mid-second century AD within a rectangular enclosure. The building was partitioned inside, separating a ritual preparation area on one side from a hearth and votive pits in the central area. The shrine produced 218 coins, the crest from a bronze figurine helmet of the goddess Minerva or the god Mars, a lead curse tablet, pottery vessels and animal bone; all from floor and demolition deposits. At the end of the second century the outer enclosure was refurbished and a smaller enclosure containing a timber building was constructed to the north. The shrine was abandoned in the late fourth or early fifth centuries. Prior to its eventual collapse, the body of an adult male was buried at its core. The shrine was preserved beneath a former medieval headland at the edge of the open fields of Egleton.
