Site Event/Activity record ECH4902 - Grinsome Farm, Ince: Archaeological Excavation

The site of Grinsome farm was excavated in September 2010 by Cambrian Archaeological Projects as part of the programme of archaeological mitigation carried out in advance of the development of the Ince Marshes Resource Recovery park. The 19th-century farmstead was revealed and was seen to be founded directly onto the sandstone bedrock. Numerous andstone blocks, re-used in the 19th-century farm, were recoverd but their original use and source were not definitively established. No evidence was recovered to indicate tha the site had been occupied prior to the 19th-century farm but this may reflect the shallowness of the topsoil over the bedrock and the levelling of the site prior to the building of the farm.
