Description At Vindolanda, near a replica temple by a small pool, there's this lovely inscription (in English!) on a small stone.
"To the Nymphs and Spirits of this Place, Octavius Fulfilled His Vow."

The replica temple and this small engraved stone can be seen together here http://www.docbrown.info/docspics/northeast/vindolanda/P3070860.jpg

Here's a wider view showing the replica temple, stone and water.

Whether this stone is a replica too I don't know, I was rather taken by its inscription, a direct communication with the Spirit of Place.
