ritual site
Ceremony takes place
A ritual site is a location where religious, spiritual, or ceremonial practices are performed.
The term spans from ancient places like Stonehenge to contemporary spaces used for worship or ceremony.
Archaeological usage often implies a site whose exact purpose is unknown but appears to have had sacred significance: Excavations revealed what appears to be a prehistoric ritual site.
