Monument record 8601 - Roman features at George Street

<1> Earthworks Archaeological Services, 2002, The Area of Gorse Stacks Car Park, George Street, Chester: an Archaeological Evaluation, R3156 (Client Report). SCH6247.

Archaeological investigations at the car park on George Street in 2002 identified a buried plough soil of possible Roman date in several of the trenches.

Two areas were excavated – Area A to the south east and Area B to the northwest, with a number of evaluation trenches excavated in each area. Evidence of a truncated plough soil of possible Roman date was encountered primarily Area B to the north west and on the western edge of Area A. A small assemblage of Roman pottery – some 190 sherds - was recovered from across the site.
