Site Event/Activity record ECH3584 - A Watching Brief at Marton Hall Farm, Winsford, Cheshire.

Archaeological watching brief undertaken in September 1995 close to the site of the scheduled medieval moated site, formerly a monastic grange, at Marton Hall Farm, Winsford. This work was part of a planning permission for the construction of a dirty water lagoon for storing farm waste behind the modern farm buildings which lie adjacent to the moat. Two operations were monitored: the cutting of drainage ditches for new pipes throught the existing modern yard and outbuildings and the cutting of the deep lagoon. The only archaeological features in the yard were a small section of pathway, possibly of 18th or 19th century date, and a ditch probably a field boundary. No other archaeology was encountered. (1)
