| Abstract: |
The evaluation was carried out in advance of landscaping, at a site, which lay close to Chester's city walls. Features and layers of apparent 20th century date were noted, although one test-pit revealed possible evidence for in-situ Roman layers. Two revealed possible evidence for a Roman rubbish tip, which may have partially filled a disused quarry. However, mortar recovered from one context may have dated the tip to the medieval period. It was concluded that there was a high potential for in-situ Roman remains to be relatively close to the surface within part of the site. [AIP] |
