Monument record 10957 - Post medieval sandstone wall at Delamere Street

Archaeological investigations carried out during the installation of gas pipes across Chester identified traces of post medieval activity in Delamere Street in 2012. The excavated area recorded a post medieval sandstone wall [1150] on a north-south alignment at a depth of approximately 0.38m below present ground level.

The wall was recorded over an extent of 3.2m and survived to a height of two courses. Several fragments of 17th-18th century pottery were recovered directly below the lower course. (1)
