The Romano-Celtic temple is a scheduled ancient monument located approximately 400 metres south of Dell's Farm in Essex. The site dates to the Roman period and represents an example of the Romano-Celtic religious architecture that characterised Romano-British religious practice, combining classical Roman architectural traditions with native Celtic religious customs and beliefs. The temple's physical form reflects the typical Romano-Celtic design, characterised by a square or rectangular cella surrounded by a portico or ambulatory. Such temples are significant archaeological witnesses to the religious syncretism and cultural interaction that defined Roman Britain during the first four centuries of the Common Era.
