Find Spot record 8088/27 - Roman finds from Abbey Street
Please read our guidance about the use of Cheshire Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
Small amount of Roman pottery and building material mainly comprising roof tile was recovered from later features during archaeological investigations at Abbey Street in 1998.
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.
