Camelot in Chester?

Chester is a lovely town not visited as much as it ought to be. It's an easy drive from Liverpool and is close to north Wales. Perhaps this find will bring more tourists?

Researchers exploring the legend of Britain's most famous Knight believe his stronghold of Camelot was built on the site of a recently discovered Roman amphitheatre in Chester.

Legend has it that his Knights would gather before battle at a round table where they would receive instructions from their King.

But rather than it being a piece of furniture, historians believe it would have been a vast wood and stone structure which would have allowed more than 1,000 of his followers to gather.
