    Built atop the massive Iron Age earthworks of Maiden Castle, this small Romano-British temple dates to the 4th century AD. It reflects a late pagan revival, featuring a classic square-within-a-square design. Located in Dorset, its ruins offer a haunting blend of Roman architecture and ancient Celtic fortification.
