Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was carried out by CFA Archaeology Ltd on land at Roddymoor Mill House Site, Hassall, Cheshire East during April 2018. Four trenches were excavated across the site of a new dwelling in order to evaluate any potential surviving archaeological remains. Evidence for the location of the former mill was identified within the trenches along with ditches and large-scale landscaping works associated with the use, disuse and redesign of the mill landscape. The trenching evaluated the potential for surviving remains pertaining to the use, historic form and function of Higher Roughwood Mill and the ancillary buildings at the site. The location of a flagstone floor and stone walls within the footprint of the mill were identified and are likely synonymous with the original construction of the mill complex, most probably dating to the 18th century. It is noted that the mill has undergone significant changes since its original construction, and no traces of any of the mill’s power mechanisms or machinery were uncovered. One of the most significant changes was the infilling of the mill pond and subsequent landscaping of the grounds surrounding Higher Roughwood Mill and Mill House, evidence of which was seen in the other three trenches. However no relationships could be inferred between features and deposits that were present in different trenches due to the varying nature of the deposits and the truncation caused by later landscaping/demolition of features on the site.
