Outside the Town describes discoveries made between 2006 and 2009
during excavations immediately south-east of Canterbury's Roman
town wall. Situated within sight of Watling Street and the main
entrance into the town from the Roman port at Dover, the
investigations revealed a late Roman shrine along with finds
indicative of ritual offerings and associated feasting. Apparently
in use over a twenty year period from c AD 340, the shrine was
positioned over a late Iron Age inhumation burial which may have
originally been marked by a mound, and is one amongst a group of
such late Iron Age and early Roman funerary monuments which exist
in the vicinity. Four late third-century burials preceded the
construction of the shrine, and represent part of an intriguing
funerary and religious landscape now emerging.
