Abstract:		 Excavation will be conducted under archaeological supervision. The archaeologist will be given the opportunity to stop excavation to investigate potential archaeological features/deposits where they arise, and adequate time will be allowed for recording any such remains. An archaeological watching brief was undertaken at Willow Bank House, Handforth, Cheshire by Archaeological Research Services Ltd (ARS Ltd) on 30-31 May 2023, and 31st October 2023. The purpose of the watching brief was to record any archaeological remains that survived on the site, that would have been truncated or removed during the proposed development. Due to the proximity of the proposed development area (PDA) to the former Handforth Railway Station – opened in 1842 – there was a strong possibility of archaeological remains to be present within the site. Overall, limited evidence of archaeological remains were observed during the watching brief, although a drain, part of a wall and possible step were 19th century in date and probably related to the station buildings as shown on historic maps.
