Description
An archaeological evaluation carried out on a proposed development site to the west of Bridge St., Chester, comprised of six trial trenches.

A hearth from the Saxon period was identified, followed by evidence of intensive medieval activity. Cellaring has truncated some of the upper archaeological deposits.
