Chester Roman Amphitheatre
Chester's Roman amphitheatre was in use through much of the Roman occupation of Britain, but fell into disuse around the year 350. The amphitheatre was only rediscovered in 1929, when one of the pit walls was discovered during construction work. Between 2000 and 2006, excavation of the amphitheatre took place for Chester City Council and, after 2004, English Heritage.
