Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
following a geophysical survey of the field to the south of the known Romano-Celtic square temple underlying Green Lane to the northwest of the hamlet of Wanborough, a series of trial trenches was opened. Pre-Roman activity was largely confined to a possible ritual well or shaft that appears to be connected to the site of the later temples by a curving trackway, thought to be ceremonial. To the west of the square temple an apparent ditch terminal was succeeded by a small, probably circular enclosure, at the centre of which may have been a prominent tree. This phase, which began in the middle of the first century AD, was associated with the burial of lambs and other votive deposits and might have been the focus for the coin hoard deposited c. AD 50--60, which was robbed and largely dispersed in the 1980s. This phase was succeeded before the middle of the second century by a hitherto unsuspected flint-built temple of sub-circular form with an eastern entrance porch and possibly a wooden floor, which appears to be a formalisation of the plan of the earlier enclosure. This temple appears to have collapsed partially shortly after construction. The circular temple was quickly replaced by a square temple in about AD 160--70. In any event it had been dismantled by the late-second century and its site largely respected by later activity, with the exception of a few, possibly ritually positioned, pits. Later activity is confined to the construction of a parish boundary bank across the site and an associated small group of medieval pennies.
