Abstract:		 Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd carried out a sample stripping exercise, on a site which lies outside the southern boundary of the current Chester Zoo site, as part of the Chester Zoo Islands Project. A total of 42 investigative strips were excavated across the site in order to establish the presence or absence of archaeology, and more specifically Roman practice camps. Three linear features were discovered each with a U-shaped profile and a single fill. Feature [106] contained pottery of possible Roman date within it. These features may indicate evidence for a Roman field system that extended into the western part of the development area.
