Jordan Hill is a Romano-Celtic temple site located near Weymouth in Dorset, England, dating to the Roman period. The temple comprises a small rectangular stone structure built within a larger enclosure, representing a characteristic form of religious architecture found across Roman Britain that blended Celtic and Classical traditions. Excavations have revealed associated remains including votive deposits and artefactual material that indicate sustained ritual activity and pilgrimage to the site during the Roman occupation. The temple's location on elevated ground overlooking the Jurassic Coast suggests it held significance as a local religious focus, likely serving both Romano-British and native British populations during the first to fourth centuries AD.
