Watling Temple is the name given to the remains of a temple within a Roman town next to the modern A2 road in Newington, near Sittingbourne in Kent, England [1]. The town was rediscovered in 2019 during an archaeological dig covering 18 acres that found iron furnaces and pottery kilns as part of a manufacturing site, a Roman temple, a 7 metres wide Roman road and late Iron Age remains dating from 30 BC [1]. The Roman road Watling Street runs through the village of Newington, and the newly discovered road predates it and takes an alternative route [1].
