Roman Temple in Pagans Hill, Roman temple ruins in Chew Stoke, England
The double-octagonal temple structure features an outer portico measuring 56 feet in diameter and an inner sanctuary of 32 feet with 3-foot-thick walls.
Built in the late third century, the temple underwent multiple reconstructions until its final restoration in 367 AD before ultimately collapsing in the fifth century.
The temple served as a religious center with guest accommodations, a priest's residence, and a holy well, indicating its importance in Roman-British society.
Archaeological excavations conducted between 1949 and 1953 revealed numerous artifacts, including Iron Age pottery and coins dating from the fourth century.
The temple's well contained a four-part sculpture of a dog made from Doulting Stone, measuring 63 centimeters in height.
