Abstract:
Oxford Archaeology (OA) North was commissioned by Chester West and Chester Council to carry out a programme of evaluation trenching across an area within the north-western quadrant of the historic city centre of Chester. This programme, comprising the excavation of 13 trenches in two different areas, was undertaken during April/May 2015. It was required to inform the design process of a proposed major scheme of redevelopment within the area, by identifying the presence/absence and representative depth (according to Ordnance Datum), of significant archaeological deposits relating to both the former Roman legionary fortress, and a graveyard associated with a post-medieval chapel, which might have survived in the southern part of the site. This latter area had not been subject to evaluation during earlier stages of the development of the scheme. The trenching produced important results, identifying probable Roman demolition deposits, at a depth of approximately 0.80-1m below the current ground surface, within four of the six trenches excavated along the southern edge of Hunter Street, and a probable Roman wall within a single trench excavated in the area adjacent to the eastern side of Trinity Street. In addition, deposits relating to probable late Roman/early post-Roman activity were also identified within the same trenches at Hunter Street, overlain by a probable later medieval cultivated soil and post-medieval deposits, capped by modern landscaping material.
