Monument record 7915 - Probable Post Medieval Flood Defence, East of Frodsham Marsh Farm

<1> L - P Archaeology, 2015, Archaeological Monitoring of Frodsham Wind Farm (Client Report). SCH8202.

A programme of archaeological monitoring was carried out during groundworks associated with the development of Frodsham Wind Farm, Helsby, in April 2015. A desk based survey undertaken for the project in 2010 had identified an earthwork recorded on historic maps to the east of Frodsham Marsh Farm. This was visited in 2015, it is readily visible and forms a landmark in the area. It was interpreted as a probable Post Medieval flood defence constructed of imported material and dredged silts from the canalised areas.
