This huge earthwork is all that remains of one of the largest Roman amphitheatres in Britain. Built in the early 2nd century, the amphitheatre — which measures roughly 150 feet (46 m) by 135 feet (41 m) — would have held around 8,000 spectators. At the time the amphitheatre was built, Cirencester (known then as Corinium) was the second largest city in England, second only to London, with a population of more than 10,000. The monument, which is managed by English Heritage, is free to enter during reasonable daylight hours. For more information, visit: english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/cirencester-amphitheatre.
