Abstract:		 Archaeological Research Services Ltd was commissioned by Development Securities (Hale barns) Ltd to undertake an archaeological evaluation on a 1.3 hectare parcel of land at The Square, Hale Barns, Greater Manchester. An archaeological desk-based assessment completed in 2011 established that there was potential for archaeological remains at the site, particularly relating to the 19th and 20th centuries. As a result, the Heritage Management Director for the Greater Manchester Archaeological Advice Service advised that an archaeological evaluation be carried out in advance of the proposed redevelopment of The Square shopping centre. The evaluation was carried out in intermittent stages. Trench one was excavated on the 25th July 2013 and was originally planned to measure 15m in length by 1.6m in width. Due to the presence of services at several locations throughout the trench, the original trench location was moved to the north-west by 2m, and a 3m baulk was left in the trench, effectively breaking it up into two, due to the location of services cables. No features or finds of archaeological significance were observed in trench 1. The remaining 4 trenches were opened on the 12th and 13th November 2013. Trenches 2 and 3 contained no features or finds of archaeological significance. Trench 4 contained structural remains comprising one north-east to south-west aligned red-brick wall, and one square red-brick feature, both likely to relate to late 19th and early 20th century dwellings that are known to have been located at the site. Trench 5 contained a demolition deposit in a possible construction cut, again likely to be the remnants of structures known to have existed on the site.
