Estimated to being built about 18,00 years ago a discovery of a wing built temple puzzled archaelogists who say the building has no known paralles. The structure has two wings radiating from a rectangular room that leads to a central room. The building winged shape appears to be unique to the Roman Empire with no examples known in Roman history of buildings. What was the winged chambers used for remains a mystery, but has indications to have been part of a complex villa. The foundation of the two wings were made from a thin layer of rammed clay and chalk. This material being lightweight detailed that this could have been used as a building for temporary means. The central room was made with foundations sterner crafted from lime mortar mixed with clay and small pieces of flint and brick. That secion had a possible tiled roof. In addition, the discovery found by the archaelogists showed signs that another building was built over it where they found post holes with a painted wall of plaster inside. The winged sites had few artifacts that could be positively connected with the discovery. This gives another clue that the building was a temporary structure. Connections according to researchers said the building may represent a shrine or temple. Another interest in where the winged structures centered speculates that the local people who lived there before the Roman conquest were known as the Iceni and it is may have been their descendents that constructed the winged building. The mystery has left many researchers guessing, and leaves the team with a interesting mystery uncovered still. The photographs shows achelogists standing in holes where posts were elevated. The discovered winged building is located in Norfolk, England just south of township of Venta Icenonum.
