English Chariot Race Track

The remains of the only known Roman chariot racing track in Britain, which archaeologists say was built around the 2nd century AD, have been found.

New homes are to be built on a 209-acre site where builders preparing the groundwork excavated what they believe is a race track nearly 2,000 years old. The developer will include it as a feature in their development of a decommissioned army barracks!

It is one of only four tracks which have been found in the north western Roman Empire provinces
