Site Event/Activity record ECH5568 - Church Fields Park, Frodsham

Adjacent to the road cutting (Pinmill Brow) is a sequence of three terraces. These are natural landforms clearly associated with the horizontal bedding of the bedrock. This site has a good covering of (almost) east-west aligned ridge and furrow, possibly late medieval in date, but it would be difficult to date definitively without further investigation. The latest features, which would appear to truncate the ridge and furrow are the mound and possible ditch identified and reported by Dr Walsh (SCH7075). It is probable that these features are associated with small scale quarrying of the outcropping sandstone.
