² An earthwork in the Park, known as Kirkstead, was ‘said to have been anciently a temple dedicated to Diana’ (Camden, Britannia ed. E. Gibson (1695), p. 810). Limited excavation has suggested a Roman or sub-Roman date; cf. D. Sturdy, ‘The Temple of Diana and the Devil's Quoits etc., in D. E. Strong (ed.), Archaeological Theory and Practice (Essays to W. F. Grimes) (1973), 27 ff. and fig. 3, p. 32.
