Description

This was the first attempt to survey a part of the theatre at Gosbecks, aiming to locate the entrances to the theatre on the north side. The resulting plot showed the outline of the theatre wall but no evidence of the entrance ramps, one of which had been seen through the limited exactions previously (ECC2734). It is recommended that further survey work is carried out on the theatre. <1><2>
