Site Event/Activity record ECH3827 - Land at 26 Howey Lane, Congleton, Cheshire: Report of an Archaeological Watching Brief

An archaeological watching brief was undertaken in 2000 on land at Howey Lane, Congleton. The watching brief monitored ground works including th excavation of foundation trenches for a single dwelling and garage. Despite its potential location close to the line of a Roman road, no significant archaeological features were identified. Two pits containing nineteenth century domestic rubbish were recorded and are considered to be an extension of a refuse tip known to have been located to the south of the development site. (1)
