Site Event/Activity record ECH5460 - Excavations at Eaton Road, Chester in 1929

Archaeological investigation in the garden of No 53 Eaton Road (then owned by Mr Schroder) 90m to the north of an earlier discovery of a cremation burial and plinth stone. The plinth stone was interpreted as a boundary wall or a row of tombstones and in order to test the extent of this a trench was cut. (1) On this occasion, another cremation burial in a first century urn was encountered, along with evidence of a further two urns. In addition, two areas of rubble foundations approximately 4.5m apart were encountered suggesting that at this point the boundary wall/row of tombstones had been doubled. (1)
