Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Atkins to undertake an archaeological evaluation on the land of the proposed St Luke's School, Salford, Greater Manchester, centred on National Grid Reference 379503, 399221. Ten trenches were excavated across the site between 21.03.16 and 24.03.16 in order to assess the archaeological potential of the Site and inform any further mitigation. The Site was occupied in the post-medieval period by buildings and formal gardens associated with Weaste Hall, which is first possibly referred to as the 'The Waste' occupied by Thomas of Tydlesley in 1570 (GMHER Ref. 1619.1.0) and appears on historic mapping until 1936. The Site was later occupied in the 20th century by a number of school buildings that have since been demolished. It appears that the site has been significantly levelled, with an increasing depth of overburden and made ground towards the south and west of the site. The evaluation found no surviving evidence for Weaste Hall or associated garden features and no evidence for activity before the post-medieval period. Although no significant archaeological features were found during the evaluation, a number of post-medieval brick and stone built culverts have been recorded in the north-eastern part of the site, which are discussed in this report. |
