Roman amphitheatre (southern part) is a scheduled ancient monument located in Cheshire, England, comprising the surviving remains of a Roman military amphitheatre. The structure dates to the Roman occupation period and formed part of the fortified settlement infrastructure of Roman Britain. The southern section represents one of the few extant portions of what was originally a substantial elliptical or circular arena, typical of amphitheatres constructed to serve garrison populations and provide space for military exercises and public gatherings. The monument's archaeological significance lies in its evidence for Roman military engineering and the scale of Romano-British settlement in the region.
