"Germanic tribes worshipped in forest groves rather than built temples according to Agricola and Caesar."

If you read Claudius they also had underground temples - two of the German Legion Eagles were recovered from such a site.

"Whole lot of archaeology under churches that we just can't get at. Would TMA consider finding and mapping churches on ancient mounds?"

There are already a few on TMA. I think you'd have to have a very good provenance to pass the scrutiny of some folks on here.
