Site of the ancient Roman amphitheater, and subsequently of medieval Aldborough Castle, neither of which survive.
From The Guardian:
"The lost amphitheatre of northern England has been found on a Yorkshire hilltop in a discovery with major implications for the study of Roman Britain.
Centuries of speculation have ended with a printout from geomagnetic scanners which reveals a great tiered bank of seats below curving hummocks in a field now frequented only by a herd of cattle."
