One of the main arguments for not unearthing the Southern side of Chester's Amphitheatre has today been quashed. Last week an English Heritage spokesperson was quoted by the BBC as saying: "with regard to further excavation of the amphitheatre, our view is that the remaining unexcavated, nationally important archeological remains, should be retained in situ.", with a spokesperson from Cheshire West and Chester Council stating on BBC Northwest Tonight, the main reason being to allow future generations to uncover the ruins using presumed improved technology. Today though, it has been revealed that English Heritage are in fact presently funding an archaeological dig in King Arthur's Tintagel birthplace, and are not leaving the site in situ to wait for future technologies to help uncover what lies beneath. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/36967147 This is happening now, whilst Chester's Amphitheatre, widely reported as being the possible King Arthur's famous Round Table itself, remains buried behind a wall in situ. We feel this proves without doubt that English Heritage's real reasons for leaving the Amphitheatre covered have more to do with them publicly supporting the de-listing of the abandoned and derelict, yet listed, Dee House which sits over part of Chester's Amphitheatre. We feel that English Heritage would support the unearthing of the Amphitheatre without question were Dee House to be de-listed and moved or even demolished.
