[FR] Le temple gallo-romain de la forêt d'Halatte est situé près de Senlis, en plein cœur de la forêt d'Halatte sur la commune d'Ognon. Ce temple votif a été abandonné au début de l'ère de la christianisation. Le temple fut alors utilisé comme carrière de pierres, puis recouvert par la forêt.
Il fut fouillé entre 1873 et 1874 et entre 1996 et 1999. Les objets découverts au cours de ces fouilles (pièces de monnaie, ex-voto, fibules, bagues, objets de parure) sont exposés au Musée d'art et d'archéologie de Senlis. Tous ces objets, mais aussi des ossements d'animaux, attestent qu'il y a eu sur ce site des offrandes d'une population gallo-romaine fervente et assidue.
