Description

{1} Five trenches were excavated. The evaluation revealed a possible stone-lined well, five ditches and a pit. All the features were consistently dated to the Roman period (2nd century). A sixth ?ditch, undated, was also recorded. The evaluation also identified that the 18th century avenue from Easton Neston House (Grade I and a registered garden) has survived as a substantial earthwork which appears to cross part of the development area (Brian Giggins pers comm.) Site code: AS1241
