Abstract:		 In 2021 Eden Heritage Ltd was commissioned to undertake an archaeological watching brief on land at The King's School, Fence Avenue, Macclesfield, Cheshire (centred on Ordnance Survey grid reference SJ 9259 7388). The archaeological work was undertaken for Barratt and David Wilson Homes and was associated with a proposed residential development at the site, for which planning permission had been granted by Cheshire East Council (Planning Reference 20/0246). The development was granted planning permission on the condition that an archaeological watching brief be undertaken, due to the recorded presence of an 18th century building, known as Fence House or The Fence, which identified the site to be of archaeological interest. The archaeological watching brief was undertaken over two days on 8th and 9th November 2021 during the excavation of a new access road at the southwest corner of proposed development area. A drain was identified on the east side of the site which may have related to a small post-medieval building associated with Fence Cottage. This building was constructed in the late 19th century following the demolition of Fence House. All of the other structures identified during the watching brief were modern and associated with the former school.
