Sygne of the Redd Lyon

Pretty cool stuff!:
A team of archaeologists may have discovered the oldest purpose-built theater in London beneath a construction site in Whitechapel.

The Elizabethan playhouse, known as the Red Lion, is believed to date from around 1567, Archaeology South-East, part of University College London's Institute of Archaeology, said in a press release.

No physical evidence of the theater had been found before and its exact location has never been confirmed, but a combination of evidence means dig director Stephen White is "97% sure" it's the Red Lion, he told CNN.
