Monument record 11342 - Timber lined tan pit from No 51 Foregate Street
Please read our guidance about the use of Cheshire Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
Archaeological investigations on the north side of Foregate Street in 1977-1979 recorded evidence of a timber lined pit of a possible medieval date.
The evidence comprised a series of vertical posts in stanchion hole D6 on the eastern side of the development area. Although the extent of the evaluation was limited, a single sherd of 14th century pottery was recovered from the fill of the pit and has suggested a tentative date of activity in the medieval period.
