Description
A watching brief was undertaken during the construction of a new supermarket at Wilderspool, Warrington. Few archaeologically significant deposits were recorded. Three sherds of Roman pottery were found during uprooting trees and grading of banks, two post holes and a probable beam slot were observed during construction of petrol tanks, and a probable beam slot recorded during excavation for a drainage trench in the car park. It is likely that the in the eastern part of the watching brief area between the new access road and the Ship canal was a 'back yard' area in the Roman period. (1)
