Abstract: |
An archaeological excavation was undertaken on land between Brook Street and Raby Road in Neston, Cheshire. The work followed a four trench evaluation undertaken by AOC Archaeology in May 2008. The aims of the excavation were to establish the extent of stone built, early post medieval foundations revealed during the previous work . The excavation revealed evidence of consistent site activity from the early 17th century till the present. Structural remains of a 17th - early 18th century modestly sized farmhouse with an associated cobble drive or road, were overlaid by a substantially larger Victorian farmhouse and later cobble and stone surfaces. An enclosed cobbled yard which may represent a stable or workshop dating to the 18th century was found to be heavily truncated by a stone built 20th century public toilet block. A later Victorian stable assocaited with the farmhouse may have replaced the earlier yard. Evidence of quarrying was also found, with a large pit dating to the 17th century found truncated by the Victorian stables. During the later phases of site use this activity moved to the north of the site, where a substantial Victorian pit was revealed. |
