The amphitheater was first built ca. A.D. 70 and then subsequently renovated during the second century A.D. Following the Roman abandonment of Britannia, the amphitheater was left derelict until the site was reoccupied in the eleventh century. The first Guildhall was built adjacent to the site in the twelfth century.
