Abstract:		 The archaeological works comprised the excavation of twelve evaluation trenches within the footprint of the development, with each trench to measure 50 m by 1.8 m. Two of these trenches were positioned to target a possible route for the Manchester to Buxton Roman road. The remaining trenches were positioned to target anomalies identified on a geophysical survey of the site as well as 'blank' areas devoid of geophysical anomalies. The archaeological works did not find any evidence for the Roman road. Of the twelve trenches excavated, nine contained no archaeological remains with trenches 5, 6 and 12 containing linear features. Trench 5 contained two parallel ditches on a northwest to southeast alignment. Trench 6 contained one ditch on an east to west alignment. Trench 12 contained one ditch on an east to west alignment. No dating evidence was recovered from any of these features. However, historic mapping suggests these features are likely to be post-medieval in date. The ditch within trench 12 corresponds with a boundary ditch on the 1885 Ordnance Survey map of the site. The ditches within trench 5 run parallel with a boundary ditch on the same map and may represent shallow drainage ditches within the field system. The ditch within trench 6 runs parallel with Macclesfield Road to the north and at 90 degrees to a field boundary to the west on the 1885 Ordnance Survey map. This again may form a drainage ditch within the post-medieval field system. In addition to these drainage/boundary features several potential former water channels were identified within trenches 3, 6 and 7. These features were characterised by very shallow spreads of whitish grey clay and sands. No dating evidence was recovered from these features.
