Abstract: |
In October 2013 Archaeological Research Services Ltd. (ARS Ltd.) was commissioned by RSK Environmental Ltd. (RSK Ltd.) on behalf of P. E. Jones (Contractors) Ltd. to undertake an archaeological watching brief at a site adjacent to 2 Greenway, Inveresk Road, Tilston, Cheshire. The work was carried out during ground works relating to the construction of 37 properties and associated landscaping and highway works. The work required the monitoring of targeted topsoil and vegetation strips, targeted footing excavations and the monitoring of access road works, along with one archaeological evaluation trench over the 1.6 hectare site. Further works comprised the excavation of two ponds at a mitigation site approximately 100m to the north of the main development site. The archaeological watching brief identified no features of archaeological interest; however, frequent pottery fragments were recovered from both the topsoil and subsoil deposits, dating from the post-medieval period, along with one single fragment of Roman pottery. Clay pipe stem fragments were also recovered. The presence of these artefacts, despite not being in secure archaeological contexts or features, indicates past activity at the site. |
