Abstract: |
Evaluation of woodland next to Manchester Airport.250 m of trenching team of two for four days, to investigate the potential for survival of archaeological remains. Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by ECUS on behalf of Faithful+Gould to undertake the archaeological evaluation of a 4.75 ha parcel of land located in Woodhouse Park, Parade Road, Ringway, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M90 1AH, centred on NGR 382135, 385725. A total of six trenches were excavated. Four of the trenches were blank, with the remaining two containing modern features. The modern features were found in trenches 5 and 6 and correspond to access routes and structures associated with a former nursery gardens first mapped in 1960. Concrete and machine-made red brick forming a partial floor or surface, were encountered in trench 6 and were likely associated with a 'moveable greenhouse' contained within a plant nursery shown on the 1976-1977 Ordnance Survey map. A modern ditch running north-east by south-west in trench 5 contained modern plastic waste. The ditch aligns with a former trackway mapped within the nursery gardens. |
