Site Event/Activity record ECH2518 - Salvage recording at 21 Stocks Lane, Boughton in 1982 (Chester)

A Roman cinerary urn was found in the rear garden of 21 Stocks Lane., Boughton on 9 September by the owner (1). The burial was on the east side of the street some 5.4m east and 2m north of the north-eastern corner of the house. The urn lay in a pit cut in the dirty soily sand to a depth of c0.8m below the modern ground surface. The top of this sand, which is presumably natural, lay at a depth of 0.3m. This cremation burial seems to be related to those found previously near Stocks Ln. and the Cherry Orchard (1).
