The Romano-Celtic temple complex located 385 metres west of Long Common is a scheduled ancient monument in Surrey comprising the structural remains of religious buildings dating to the Roman period. The site represents evidence of Romano-British religious practice and the syncretism of Celtic and Roman cultural traditions during the occupation of Britain. The temple complex demonstrates the typical architectural features of Romano-Celtic temple construction, including the characteristic square or rectangular cella surrounded by a portico, a design common in frontier and provincial regions of the Roman Empire. Such sites are archaeologically significant for understanding the religious landscape of Roman Britain and the persistence of indigenous spiritual practices within the Romanised settlement patterns of southern England.
