Abstract: |
The archaeological evaluation along the route of the proposed Middlewich Eastern Bypass located possible evidence of a ditch relating to Roman field systems to the north-west of the study area. The rectilinear enclosure with associated pits in Area Nine produced no dating material from secure contexts but it is possible that the enclosure may well have been prehistoric or Roman in origin. A large quantity of post-medieval pottery was recovered from the surface of the natural sub-soil and the upper layers of the ditch fill in the trial trenches which may have related to an earlier farmstead. The linear feature in Area One will be directly impacted upon by the development. It was recommended that the site be avoided and the bypass rerouted. [Au(abr)] |
