Cellars and Cults in Roman Britain

Cellars and sunken rooms are rare on Romano-British sites and their presence marks a deliberate and unusual architectural preference. This paper attempts to demonstrate that a series of common characteristics in cellar location and design make it probable that they shared a common inspiration, and that the likeliest such inspiration was cult practice. Consideration is also given to the water and fertility cults which might account for the archaeological evidence
