A Romano-Celtic temple was built on the hilltop of Lamyatt Beacon around AD 290. Drawing on original research, this talk looks at the temple and how it connected to the wider landscape. It asks why the temple was built here, and what it can tell us about religion and society in this part of Roman Britain.
Neil Godfrey is currently working on a doctorate at the University of Oxford, where his research examines ritual practice and ritual places in the landscapes of Roman Britain. This builds on an Oxford MSc in Applied Landscape Archaeology. Lamyatt Beacon and its landscape have featured in both his master's dissertation and his recently published research on the roads and temples of Roman Britain.
