Abstract:		 Following a proposal by United Utilities to install a new underground storage tank within the grounds of their existing pumping station on Moor Lane, Waverton, Cheshire, the Chester City Archaeologist issued recommendations for a metal detector survey and an archaeological strip and record for all areas of ground disturbance, including a contractor's compound in the field to the east of the pumping station. An initial metal detector survey was undertaken prior to work commencing, followed by a second after the vegetation and some of the topsoil was removed and a third after the remaining topsoil was machined off to the level of the natural geology. Subsequently, the site was mapped and a sample excavation of the features carried out. Nine discrete features were revealed, with three (13, 14 and 19) identified as modern rubbish pits, and three post-medieval features (2, 4 and 9); 2 and 4 suggesting no obvious function, whilst pit 9, appeared to represent a posthole. Two linear cuts, 17 and 11, were also revealed, with 17 representing a post-medieval ditch and 11 the cut for the modern sewer pipe running from the pumping station. The final feature, 13, appeared to represent a tree throw. The earliest artefacts from this site dated to the late eighteenth century, over a century after the Civil War, and none of the features identified appeared to relate to the 1645 Battle of Rowton Heath; the site is located within the registered Civil War battlefield of Rowton Heath, fought on 24th September 1645.
