View NE over site of Hayling Island Romano-Celtic temple, Hampshire, England, UK, in a wheat field between Stoke & North Hayling. The excavated site is at SU724030 600m WSW of St Peter's Church in North Hayling. Dark marks tracing out a circle & rectangles in a growing crop revealed the site of an Iron Age shrine overlain by a Roman temple. The C1stBC shrine resembled a domestic round house with a shallow porched entrance screened by fencing & set within a squarish enclosure defined by a fence, hedge & exterior ditch. Offerings of ritually damaged metal weapons, tools & chariot fittings were deposited along with coins, brooches & currency bars. Also meat offerings of pig & sheep plus pots containing food & drink. Shortly after the Roman conquest the shrine was replaced by a substantial limestone tower set within a rectangular temenos with a colonnaded precinct stone wall. The circular tower had a red plastered exterior & a multicoloured interior. A native shrine perhaps sacred to warriors & the war god Teutates was converted into a Gallo-Roman temple of Mars
