Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The continuing expansion of South Arclid Quarry near Sandbach resulted in several phases of archaeological assessment, together with successive watching briefs during soil-stripping operations between 2009 and 2014. These were conducted by the Clwyd-Powys Archaeological Trust (CPAT) on behalf of Bathgate Silica Sand Ltd. While the archaeological discoveries have generally been restricted to a few unstratified finds and a small number of dispersed features that were largely undat able, site works in 2014 uncovered the probable remains of a Bronze Age burnt mound and associated water trough dated to 1530–1420 cal BC. While a number of similar features have been recorded in Cheshire and the neighbouring counties, this is the first such discovery in the Sandbach area. Analysis of charcoal associated with the burnt mound together with pollen from a nearby peat deposit have provided evidence for the nature of the surrounding landscape during the Neolithic and Bronze Age periods. | ||
