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. One is visible as four sides of a hexagonal building some 10m across lying to the south of a side road running towards the cemetery noted in earlier quarrying to the west.
{2} Set back from the main frontages to the south and southwest lie two stone buildings that are probably also shrines.
