Iron Age settlement which is overlain by a Romano-British temple complex. Marcham/Frilford is located in the Vale of the White Horse (on the A338 to Wantage at what used to be The Noah’s Ark pub) not far from the sites excavated as the Hillforts of the Ridgeway Project.
Together the two projects explore life in this area through the later prehistoric and Romano-British periods.
The temple has a large temenos area defined by a stone wall with various public buildings outside it. One of these is a large circular structure which has been one focus of our excavations – its function is unclear at the moment but it was probably some form of theatre/amphitheatre associated with religious activities and the nearby temple.
