Site Event/Activity record ECH4633 - An Archaeological Evaluation, St Alban's Church, Tattenhall, Cheshire

Evaluation work in advance of the construction of an extension to the parish church (north of the west end of the north aisle) revealed evidence of articulated burials at a depth of 1m. Trenches adjacent to the aisles revealed foundation underlying the wall of the ailse which appeared to pre-date the present phase of construction. Residual material included Roman, medieval, and post-medieval ceramics and artefacts. The results of the evaluation were used to design a strategy which would allow the preservation in situ of the bulk of the archaeological deposits by means of a thickened raft foundation. Subsequent specialist finds report for this evaluation produced in 2015 by Leigh Dodd.
