It is sometimes curious which websites pick up which stories. It was slightly surprising to see that the Jerusalem Post had a report about the discovery of a Romano-Celtic temple in Lancaster. The article can be seen at 1,900-year-old Romano-Celtic temple discovered in northern England
This has been followed by another, similar account with additional details, of the temple on the Arkeonews website. It can be read at Evidence of Rare Romano-Celtic Temple Near Lancaster Castle -may be only the second of its type
The temple is only the second such structure to be be identified so far in what was Britannia. It does not mean that is the last. It is also a further indicator of the complexity of life in Roman Britain and a reminder of how our knowledge of its history continues to increase through archaeology in all its contemporary forms.
