Abstract: |
In October 2009, Oxford Archaeology North (OA North) carried out an archaeological watching brief on behalf of Building Health and Safety Ltd, during foundation trenching for two new build properties at 30 Egerton Road, Monton, Eccles, Greater Manchester (NGR SJ 76806 99953) on the site of a previous one-storey dwelling and its surrounding land. In order to secure archaeological interests, an archaeological condition was attached to the planning consent for the development intended to assess the nature, extent, and significance of buried archaeological remains that may be impacted by the development work. To this effect, a formal brief was prepared by the Assistant County Archaeologist for Greater Manchester outlining the requirements of the work. A project design was prepared by OA North in accordance with the brief and approved by the Assistant County Archaeologist prior to the commencement of the work. The single-storey dwelling was still upstanding on the site at the commencement of the site work, and was demolished prior to any intrusive groundworks. The footprint of the building and a number of ephemeral garden features were also still visible. No archaeological deposits or features were exposed during the excavation of the foundation trenches, but post-medieval ceramic fragments were recovered from the subsoil layer. Although a good geological stratigraphy was observed on the site, no features other than the foundation trenches of the previous dwelling were present. |
