Roman Amphitheatre - Chester

The largest uncovered amphitheatre in the UK is the subject of a major archaeological project. In a partnership between English Heritage and Cheshire West and Chester Council a top team of experts are uncovering new results which are adding to the story of Chester and the world-wide knowledge of roman history.

There are no excavations on the amphitheatre itself this summer, however work is being carried out by the team in Grosvenor Park - next to the amphitheatre site. They hope to establish how the area was used during the Roman period and how this tied in with the amphitheatre.
