Abstract:		 Wardell Armstrong LLP were commissioned by Watkin Jones Group to undertake a scheme of archaeological mitigation at Hunter Street, Chester. The investigations were required to mitigate the impact on the known archaeological remains ahead of a new development comprising student accommodation with associated services, vehicular access and landscaping for which planning permission has received from Cheshire West and Chester Council. The archaeological mitigation comprised a Watching Brief during initial ground reduction and all excavations for gas, electrical and drainage services. Based on the foundation design of the development, three areas were identified for archaeological excavation. The combination of archaeological Watching Brief and Excavation was implemented to ensure a preservation in situ strategy was upheld during groundworks and construction. The archaeological works have recorded the remains of a potential foundation for an interval tower of the Roman fort wall, the associated rampart, the intervallum road surface and a substantial Roman drain. The archaeological works also recorded an area of truncation associated with the construction of St. Martin's Way; although previous archaeological works had identified truncation within the Site boundary previously its extent wasn't fully characterised or known.
