Full Description
{1} Evidence for shrines is based largely on air photography though recent analysis of artefacts discovered through metal detecting now provides additional support. There are two probable shrines, to the south and west of the town.
{2} Set back from the main frontages to the south and southwest lie two stone buildings that are probably also shrines.
