Full Description
Barrow cemetery scattered across a complex network of trackways and linear features. (1,2).
The potential Roman temple and Anglo-Saxon graves are visible of Google Earth aerial photographs of April 2017. The temple has a central cella that is around 7.6m across, with a ?colonnaded ambulatory around 14.5m across. These features are recorded as one record as it is likely that the temple and Anglo-Saxon graves were located here to be in association with the barrow cemetery. (3)
