Jordan Hill Roman Temple is a Romano-Celtic temple and Roman ruin situated on Jordan Hill above Bowleaze Cove in the eastern suburbs of Weymouth, Dorset, England[1]. Original amateur archaeological excavations on the site were carried out by J. Medhurst in 1843-6[1]. These were followed by excavations by C.D. Drew and C.S. Prideaux during 1931-32, suggesting the site was in operation between c. AD 69-79 to the late 4th century[1]. Some of the finds from the excavations in the 1930s are in the Dorset Museum and the British Museum[1]. There are other Roman sites nearby including Preston Roman Villa to the north west[1].
