Monument record: MCC2831 Roman theatre, Gosbecks, Colchester (Monument)Roman theatre at Gosbecks, situated south of the Romano-Celtic temple (MCC2849), and to the east of the (supposed) earlier site of Cunobelin's farmstead (MCC7044). The theatre survives as a low, D-shaped earthwork 1.5m high. Excavations in 1967 identified two construction phases: a wooden theatre was demolished in the 2nd century and replaced by one of turf and clay encircled by a stone revetment wall. The theatre appears to have lasted until the mid 3rd century and it has been estimated the size of this cavea could have accommodated c.5000 spectators, which would have made it the largest of its kind in Britain. See MCC2080 for the Roman theatre in Maidenburgh Street, Colchester.
