Abstract:		 Wardell Armstrong was commissioned by Wainhomes (North West) Limited to undertake an archaeological investigation in the form of a topographical survey and trenching on land to the north of Preston Old Road, Clifton, Lancashire (centred on NGR: SD 4625 3058) in advance of residential development on the site. Planning permission has been granted, with conditions, for residential development of up to 74 dwellings and associated infrastructure (Planning Ref: 15/0763). The investigation was required as a condition of the planning consent, and was undertaken in accordance with a written scheme of investigation (WSI) produced following an archaeological desk-based assessment which identified features within the site boundary including medieval ridge and furrow earthworks, part of a former road, and an oval feature of unknown date. The archaeological work took place over eight days between the 2nd and 8th August 2017 and consisted of a topographical survey and the excavation and recording of 16 trenches targeting the features identified in the earlier desk-based assessment. Each trench differed in size but the combined area excavated was approximately 828m² of trenching in total. The topographical survey identified prominent ridge and furrow earthworks on the northwest side of the site and the remains of post-medieval field boundaries, depicted on historic Ordnance Survey mapping. Six trenches identified archaeological remains, with two trenches revealing the remains of a former post-medieval road surface, also recorded on historic maps of the site. A former field boundary, and possible track surfaces were revealed in a further three trenches. The earthwork remains of ridge and furrow cultivation were also recorded in section in one of the trenches on the northwest side of the site.
