Find Spot record 8088/3 - Roman finds from Watergate Street
Please read our guidance about the use of Cheshire Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
Single fragment of Roman roof tile recorded during limited archaeological investigation to the rear of No 60 Watergate Street.
Residual finds usually occur as a result of soil disturbance when the cutting of one feature removes finds from a lower and therefore earlier layer and re-deposits them closer to the surface.
