Site Event/Activity record ECH5368 - Archaeological Watching Brief at Old Hall Hotel, Sandbach, Cheshire

An archaeological watching brief and photographic survey carried out during the renovation and construction of a new extension to the Old Hall hotel. This involved monitoring under watching brief conditions the machine excavation of two small exploratory evaluation trenches, service trenches, foundation trenches and a soak-away pit. The results of the watching brief revealed that no archaeological remains were present within the excavated areas. The only finds present were reasonably modern butchered animal bones. A photographic record was also made of the basement, which revealed no significant historic features. The photographic record is reproduced in this report as Appendix 2.
