Secrets of Richborough Roman amphitheatre revealed during excavation
A cavity in the arena wall at Richborough Roman amphitheatre in Kent, has been revealed to be a carcer, or cell for holding people and animals, English Heritage has revealed today (28 October). The discovery was one of a number made during an archaeological excavation of the Roman amphitheatre by the charity including the almost complete skeleton of a purposefully buried Roman cat, and traces of painted decoration to the plaster face of the arena wall; the first known instance on any Roman amphitheatre in Britain. Other finds from the excavation also reveal that Roman settlement at Richborough may have continued right across the town until the very end of Roman rule at the turn of the 4th/5th century. This excavation will form part of a major refurbishment and re-presentation of the site and museum which will take place this winter and open in summer 2022.
