Abstract:		 A watching brief was carried out during works at a development site which lay close to the presumed line of a Roman road, within the Middlewich Area of Archaeological Potential. Roman settlement features had been recorded to the east and west of the road, the most recent discovery having comprised a pair of ditches, a metalled surface and structural slots, immediately to the south-east of the development site. Groundworks had already commenced prior to the involvement of the archaeological contractors with the development project; on arrival, the foundations had been filled with rubble and c. 1m high walls constructed. However, sections through the below-ground deposits were accessible in places, and the excavated spoil was available for inspection. Ground disturbance works in relation to a drainage trench were also monitored. 19th-20th century artefacts and a relict 19th century ploughsoil were observed, but it was found that considerable ground disturbance had previously occurred. It was noted that the saturated natural sand at the site was unlikely to have supported a settlement at this location. [AIP]
