Site Event/Activity record ECH5329 - Observations at 60 Whitchurch Road, Chester

Observations made on a buried wall in the garden of the Glass House. The wall was c.800mm high, built of sandstone, and dug into the subsoil. The base of the wall comprised sandstone rubble foundation with pieces of handmade brick, overlain by a course of flat sandstone slabs, and topped by coping stones with a triangular cross section. The wall was entirely buried and was interpreted as a low garden wall. Noted that the Glass House had an ‘interesting’ sandstone cellar with a brick vault of ‘earlier bricks’ which would benefit from further investigation.
