Abstract:
Desk-based assessment and an evaluation were undertaken in advance of a residential development. Previous archaeological work in the vicinity of the proposal site had recorded features such as a double Roman ditch, a medieval clay-lined brine pit and five spindlewhorls. The results of the desk-based assessment suggested that the proposal area was situated within the medieval or possibly the Anglo-Saxon core of Middlewich, whilst cartographic evidence indicated that the course of Lewin Street may have been altered between 1770 and 1847. The proposal site could potentially have contained deposits relating to the original line of the street. During the evaluation, medieval ditches which had been truncated by post-medieval rubbish pits were revealed, and post-medieval brick and part-brick surfaces were recorded. The earliest surface was strewn with a large quantity of porcellaneous ceramics, industrial waste and copper alloy fragments, and was interpreted as a possible yard associated with a row of 18th century terraced properties fronting onto Lewin Street. The state of preservation of the archaeological features was extremely good. [Au(adp)]
