Abstract: |
Wardell Armstrong Archaeology were instructed by David Wilson Homes North West, to undertake an archaeological evaluation on land at Wigan Road, Clayton-le-Woods, Lancashire (NGR SD 5582 2288). This work follows a request from the Planning Officer (Archaeology) at Lancashire County Council, Doug Moir, for a phased programme of archaeological investigation prior to any future redevelopment of the site. The first phase of this programme was an archaeological desk-based assessment (Blythe 2008), which identified the site to be of archaeological interest, specifically, potentially containing the projected route of a Roman road, as well as remains of post-medieval buildings associated with the Cuerdens farm complex. This archaeological work comprised an initial trial trench evaluation, specifically targeting the Roman road route. Further archaeological mitigation may occur in later phases. The archaeological evaluation was undertaken over 3 days between the 16th July and 18th July 2013. The evaluation involved the excavation of 3 trenches, totalling 105m2, in the northern part of the development area. Despite the high potential for encountering the route of a Roman road, as well as possible post-medieval building remains, no archaeological remains were noted from any of the 3 trenches. As this archaeological evaluation was conducted as part of the initial part of a larger phased programme of archaeological investigation, some further work may be deemed necessary as part of the development. |
