The Excavation of a Romano-British Shrine at Orton's Pasture, Rocester, Staffordshire

Birmingham University Field Archaeology Unit Monograph Series 3
A summary of rescue excavations at the Romano-British Shrine site at Rocester, Staffordshire, dating from the late first to mid-second centuries AD. Parts of two enclosures identified as being associated with the adjacent Roman fort complex were also dug, and pits revealed several unusual finds, including an altar fragment. A small, stone building in one of the enclosures has been identified as a shrine.
