I: Excavation of a Roman roadside settlement at Stockton Heath, Warrington 2007
Leigh J Dodd
5 - 64
Evaluation followed by excavation ahead of construction at a site at Stockton Heath, Warrington, revealed Roman remains flanking the major arterial road that ran north to the important settlement at Wilderspool. Structures, ovens and cremations, dating primarily to the second century AD, were excavated and road construction examined. There was no evidence to suggest anything other than agricultural activity after the Roman period. However, twelve air-raid shelters were excavated within the site during the Second World War, causing widespread destruction to the Roman remains.

Article examining the importance of interpreting castles in the context of their wider landscapes. Beeston Castle, dating to the 13th century and situated ten miles east of Chester, is described. An overview of the evolution of castle studies in recent years is then given. The powers of Ranulf de Blundeville, the builder of Beeston Castle, are discussed and two of the other castles built by him are examined. An appreciation of the wider impact of power on the landscape highlights many aspects of Beeston Castle's significance. LD
