Edgar's Field

Edgar's Field is over in Handbridge, and was originally the site of a Roman Quarry. The stones quarried were almost certainly used in the construction of Chester. The sandstone outcrop  towards the centre of the park holds the nation's only remaining in-situ Roman shrine, to the goddess Minerva. You should just about be able to make it out in the photos below, and you can tell it is Minerva because of the owl (you need a bit of imagination, mind).
