Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology were commissioned by Keepmoat Homes to undertake an archaeological evaluation and initial mitigation works on land at Wenlock Way, West Gorton, Manchester (NGR 387028, 396835) ahead of residential development (reference 105914/MO/2014/N2). A Written Scheme of Investigation was prepared for the evaluation and approved by the Greater Manchester Archaeological Advisory Service (GMAAS), archaeological advisors to the Local Planning Authority (LPA), in advance of fieldwork commencement. Initial mitigation works were also agreed with GMAAS in four areas to clarify the results of the evaluation and to facilitate the commencement of groundworks for the new development. Five of six planned evaluation trenches were excavated (Trenches 1-5), four of which (Trenches 1, 2, 4 and 5) were expanded into mitigation areas (Areas 1, 2, 4 and 5). Trench 6 remains unexcavated as it is currently under a standing building. Five of six planned evaluation trenches were excavated (Trenches 1-5), four of which (Trenches 1, 2, 4 and 5) were expanded into mitigation areas (Areas 1, 2, 4 and 5). Trench 6 remains unexcavated as it is currently under an extant standing building. The foundations of mid to late 19th century terraced housing and associated yards, fronting the former Henry Street, Margaret Street, Gladstone Street and Watson Street, were observed across the site (Trenches 2, 3 and 4 and Areas 2 and 4). In addition foundations relating to the mid to late 19th century St. Mark's Church and the associated Sunday School were also present (Trench 5/Area 5). These remains correspond closely to the Ordnance Survey map of 1908. Below-ground structures were also identified that may relate to a mid to late 19th century Iron Works (Trench 1/ Area 1) although direct correlation was not possible due to the fragmentary nature of the remains. Multiple phases of development in the 19th and 20th centuries have likely removed any earlier archaeological remains.
