These are the area between Gnosall and Eccleshall (75 km squares), and two closely situated areas to the north-east and south-west of Kidsgrove (total 87 km squares). The project area overlapped slightly with parts of east Cheshire. Archaeological sites and features identified by the project were mapped to Historic England's National Mapping Programme (NMP) standards. The project mapped and recorded a wide range of archaeological sites of varying nature dating from the Neolithic period to the twenty-first century, highlighted the extensive industrial heritage of north Staffordshire.
