Abstract: |
The site lies to the north of the modern A55, to the immediate south is the Scheduled Monument of a Medieval moated site called Huntington Hall (1012112) with associated outbuildings (1187379 and 1130633). To the east of the site is the former Saighton Camp where Romano-British occupation and elements of a co-axial field system have been discovered. Further Roman activity is identified to the west at the Scheduled Monument of Heronbridge (1006774, 1375779). With several listed buildings including Eaton Hall (1000127) and Meadowhouse Farmhouse (1330233) within a 500m radius.During the Watching Brief a curvilinear feature was encountered at the south of the site, potentially a removed hedgerow, its identification and date are uncertain. Several large areas of disturbance were identified as 19th century pond features on the historic mapping, which have since been filled in and several intact 20th century north-south aligned field drains were observed. The site produced a sherd of 13th/14th century Medieval pottery and a 14th/15th century fragment of Medieval floor tile. The remaining ceramics dated from 1740s to 20th century, with remains of building material and industrial waste identified from across the site. |
