Abstract: |
Aeon Archaeology was commissioned by Bold Projects Ltd, (hereafter the Client) to carry out an
archaeological evaluation as part of the erection of a residential development to create six new build
dwellings (C3 use) and the conversion and refurbishment of the Public House (A4 use) to create two
dwellings (C3 use) with associate access, parking and amenity space on land adjacent to The Cheshire
Cheese Public House, 29 Main Street, Frodsham, Cheshire WA6 7AZ (centred on NGR SJ 51356
77664). The archaeological evaluation identified a single feature at the site; a single square, brick-built fire pit
belonging to a row of former post-medieval dwellings which once fronted the Site. This had a flat
stone base, measured 0.45m² and was the only remaining structure found during the excavation
showing that demolition of the post-medieval housing stock had all but removed them in their
entirety. Covering this fire pit was a large spread of bricks which acted as an aggregate for the fly-ash
which was pressed down above it. These bricks were almost certainly imported from another site as
well as the fly ash and both were employed to level the area in advance of it being utilised as a car
park, this is supported by the presence of modern plastic beneath the brick which suggest that they
arrived in the area within the last forty years. |
