| Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation ahead of the construction of a residential development at the junction of Milton Street and Charles Street, Chester (centred on SJ 4099 6673) during 2014 revealed evidence for a substantial ditch most probably related to the seventeenth-century Civil War defences of Chester. In June of 2016 a further trench was opened in order to excavate and record a sample of the ditch in greater detail. When combined with evidence recovered at Seller Street in 2002, the results suggest a line for the outworks to the east of the city different from that conjectured on the basis of documentary evidence. |
