Abstract: |
Stoke-on-Trent Archaeology was appointed to undertake an archaeological watching brief during extension works at number 76 Lennox Road, Lightwood, Stoke-on-Trent. Archaeological interest in the site was governed by its proximity to the find spot of the Lightwood Hoard, a deposit of AD 3rd-century Roman coins and jewellery found in the 1960s. The watching brief monitored the reduction of ground levels across the site and the subsequent excavation of foundation trenches to the south and west of the present property. The project revealed nothing of archaeological significance. The deposit profile indicated that the site had been subject to levelling prior to the construction of the present building in the late 20th century. Modern, 20th-century, disturbance on site had impacted to depths of between 0.98m and 1.21m below ground level. |
