On TV last night I watched Time Team uncover a similar temple (not far from St Albans) to the one I wrote about above.
They found two rectangular ones first by locating their position (2nd time lucky!), from an [1970s?] aerial photograph. Eventually they uncovered another, plus a very rare round temple. I was fascinated by this because of the 'Oval House' shrine at Maiden Castle, whose position took so long to verify in books and on the web.
Bearing in mind the way my non-stop dowsed route of the priest, or whoever, had walked around the Maiden Castle Romano-British rectangular temple's ambulatory, into the cella in the centre, then, without stopping, on to the oval house (shrine) a little higher uphill (and here he/she walked around it - or was that an ambulatory too?- before ending in its centre) I wondered if this happened at the Time Team one also.
Hope that makes sense! If not, check out the plan.
