Farley Heath is a Romano-British temple complex and enclosure located on high ground in Surrey, dating to the second and third centuries AD. The site comprises a small temple structure surrounded by a substantial ditched enclosure, representing a religious sanctuary of the Romano-British period. Archaeological investigation has revealed votive objects and other religious deposits within the enclosure, indicating that the temple served as a focus for religious practice and possibly pilgrimage during the Roman occupation of Britain. The site's elevated position and material evidence suggest it held significance as a local religious centre within the Romano-British settlement pattern of the Surrey region.
