In 1976 laying of a water main in a field...above the village of Uley, Gloucestershire, brought to light Roman period artifacts and structures. Subsequent excavation over three seasons (1977-1979) revealed a sanctuary that existed from the late Iron Age through the Roman period into the early medieval era, when it perhaps became a Christian church.
Please glance at the entire site, as the history and content of "curse tablets" is a fascinating window into the historic human psyche.
