Abstract: |
In May 2021 Eden Heritage was commissioned by PWA Planning to undertake an archaeological evaluation of land at the rear of 26 and 28 Nicholas Street, Chester, Cheshire (centred on National Grid Reference SJ 4028 6609). The archaeological evaluation was required to help determine the archaeological potential of the area and to inform the proposed development at the site. The proposed development area is to the west of Chester city centre, on the west side of Nicholas Street, being south of Watergate Street and north of Grey Friars. This part of Chester is known to have been the site of an extensive settlement during the Roman period, which lay between the western defences of the Roman fort and the River Dee. In the medieval period the site lay within the area of a Dominican Friary (Blackfriars). Archaeological remains were identified at depth in all three test pits excavated. |
