Description
A geophysical survey and small scale excavation (trial trenching) were undertaken in 1989 on land adjoining Bell Cottage, Vale Royal, Cheshire. The majority of the area was mapped by resistivity survey, complemented by magnetometer survey. The results of the trial trenching indicate extensive levelling of structures associated with the Cistercian Monastery of Vale Royal, and the limited survival of robbed-out wall footings in the south-east quarter of the monastic precinct.
