Site Event/Activity record ECH4332 - Watching Brief at the Old Chapel House, High Street, Tattenhall, Cheshire.

The results obtained from the six rapidly excavated test trenches have shown clearly that little of archaeological merit survives within the development area to the north and west of the chapel building. The site lies on a natural outcrop of sandstone bedrock which undualtes slightly across the area; the bedrock is overlain by a shallow soil layer which yielded no dating evidence. Further, there were no residual finds to suggest the former presence, or nearby presence, of archaeological remains earlier than the late post-medieval period.
