Late Iron Age timber shrine on Hayling Island by Andy B on Wednesday, 06 April 2016
(User Info | Send a Message)
[Location of this site - presumably non-extant / nothing there to be seen - is further north on Hayling Island - not given exactly in the paper]

The first phase of the Late Iron Age timber shrine on Hayling Island was constructed in the early first century B.C., represented by a square post and wattle fence enclosing
a smaller square plank built fence. These square enclosures had east facing entrances and were focused around a large central pit

The second phase, at some point in the early first century A.D., saw the reconstruction
of the outer enclosure fence while the inner fence was replaced by a circular structure remarkably similar to a ‘typical roundhouse’ of the period, traditionally thought of as a domestic structure. A large amount of votive offerings were present at Hayling Island including coinage from Britain, Gaul and Rome, military equipment, horse trappings, currency bars and human and animal bone

Haselgrove’s recent analysis of the coinage from Hayling Island suggests
that continental coinage was predominate initially from its origins in the first century B.C. but that after the early first century A.D. these issues decreased while Roman issues
increased. This suggests that initially there were strong ties with the regions bordering
the Seine, but that the reconstruction of the shrine in the mid to first century heralded the
start of relations with Rome

The site was reused in the Early Roman period (60s or 70s A.D.) as the earlier shrine was demolished and a Romano-Celtic Temple constructed in its place. This temple mirrored the Late Iron Age layout with a square enclosing element surrounding a circular stone tower (cella) with an eastern entrance.

visited in early april'08, significant new plantation of saplings, which won't help future archaeology. signposting and fencing by current (absentee) owner aggressively defends site used for rearing pheasants.
a larger-than-average low-lying circular ditch-and-bank fortification surrounded by boggy land on Hayling Island, with higher ground on neighbouring golf course. ditch still steep and 3 metres deep on sea-ward side. interior of circle very flat.
access by farm track from golfcourse carpark
