Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken on the Capesthorne Pipeline Diversion (site centre SJ 833 714). It was undertaken at the instruction of CgMs Consulting on behalf of Mouchel Parkman acting for National Grid (the Client), who intend to divert an existing gas pipeline around a proposed extension to Dingle Bank Quarry, Siddington, Cheshire. This involved the stripping, by machine, of an easement and subsequent pipe trench. The project aimed to determine if any significant archaeological features or deposits were present and ifso to indicate what there location, date and nature were. The majority of the stripped easement revealed little of archaeological importance. However three features were identified that are described in this report. A probable field boundary ditch was identified and the finds recovered from the fill suggest a date of 17th-18th century. An old track way which was identified in the eastern part of the easement corresponds with a track leading to a lodge which is shown on the 1872 Ordnance Survey map. The western part of the easement revealed an area of dark deposits within a natural hollow. Environmental investigation of these deposits indicated that, although not formed by human activity, the deposits were of value in determining environmental conditions in the area in the past. Pollen analysis dated the deposits to the Bronze Age.
