Amphitheater with a long history. In prehistoric times it was probably a place of sacrifice in the style of Stonehenge, adapted by the Romans as an amphitheater for the entertainment of the encamped soldiers.
In Hardy's Major of Casterbridge a place of various meetings, and today still used for local festivities.
