Description
{1} A total of 25 40m-long trenches were opened. Archaeology was uncovered on the western half of site, with Roman pits and a limestone constructed building being recorded. The building was circular in plan with evidence of significant burning during its demolition. The location and quality of the building would suggest that it was a Romano-British temple. Site code: XNN:BUL14.
