LONDON (AP) — Archaeologists have uncovered what they believe to be a Roman shrine beneath a former graveyard in the grounds of a cathedral in central England. Experts from the University of Leicester said Tuesday that they found what appears to be the cellar of a Roman building and a fragment of a 1,800-year-old altar stone during excavations in the grounds of Leicester Cathedral. “There’s always been this folk tale that there was a Roman temple underneath the cathedral," said Mathew Morris, excavation director for the University of Leicester’s Archaeological Services.
