Cities, villages, fortresses - Jura - Porrentruy-En solier

In 1983 crop marks with the plan of a Gallo-Roman temple were seen near Porrentruy, at the locality En solier. In 1986 a few trenches were dug. The temple measured 15.50 x 15.50 m., with a cella of 8.50 x 8.50 m. Some terra sigillata sherds were found from the late second and early third century.
