Site Event/Activity record ECH7083 - A523 Poynton Relief Road, Asset 35 Bowl Barrow, Cheshire East: Cultural Heritage Asset Management Plan

A management plan was produced for a scheduled bowl barrow (CHER 1557/1) as part of a programme of archaeological mitigation undertaken in support of the proposed Poynton Relief Road scheme, starting just south of Kitt’s Moss, Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council (SMBC; NGR: SJ 89939 83800) and continuing south to just west of Butley Town, Cheshire East Council. The eastern extent of the barrow will be affected by the highway earthwork but will be preserved in situ beneath the highway without the need for excavation or removal of the topsoil. The management plan includes the following information:- • a description and brief overview of the archaeological background of the monument; • legal status; • current condition, including the results of the photographic survey, the means of its preservation in situ, and the results of the watching brief; • aims and objectives of the management plan; and • proposals for monitoring and review of both its condition and the effectiveness of the CHAMP in maintaining preservation.
