Abstract: |
Aeon Archaeology was commissioned by Ashcourt Group Ltd, to carry out an archaeological
watching brief during the groundworks associated with the construction and operation of an In Vessel
Composting (IVC) facility with associated Aerated Static Pile (ASP) composting, screening and
blending operations on land to the west of Middlewich Road, Leighton Grange, Crewe CW1 4QQ
(centred on NGR SJ 67067 57249). Full planning permission (18/0552N) The archaeological watching brief at Leighton Grange, Crewe revealed the remains of the Middlewich
to Whitchurch Roman road alignment - with the two drainage ditches situated to the east and west of
the road respectively, serving to promote a northeast to southwest alignment. This correlates with the
alignment already suggested by 19th-century Ordnance Survey mapping. These remains had been quite
heavily truncated during the construction of the existing trackway in the mid-20th Century. |
