Description
An earlier evaluation had not detected significant archaeological deposits, apart from a substantial ditch running parallel to and extending under the northern side of Mill Street. This may be the ditch of Nantwich Castle, which would mean that the development lies within the castle bailey. Consequently, a precautionary watching brief was maintained during the excavation of the basement parking area. This did not reveal any new features but did allow further examination of the ditch.
