This
is a tiny little pot found at Chanctonbury Ring. It dates from shortly
after the Roman invasion of Britain in 43 AD. A Roman temple or shrine
has been discovered by archaeologists in the middle of an earlier,
probably late Bronze Age, enclosure at Chanctonbury. Many finds came to
light such as red and white mosaic floor tiles, roof tiles, the
foundations of two buildings and evidence of religious offerings. The
little pot was found in a shallow depression. This suggests that it
contained something special and was buried by someone with a wish or a
prayer for help from the gods.
