Monument record 7905 - 18th-19th century timber structures adjacent to Congleton Town Hall

Please read our .

Summary

Trial trenches excavated in 1996 adjacent to Congleton Town Hall identified post holes which have been interpreted as the remains of timber structures, dated to the 18th-19th century by artefactual evidence. In one of the trenches two square clay-packed features were also recorded and may represent post pads for a timber structure. No dating evidence was recovered with the post pads but they post date medieval deposits and pre-date the 19th century.
