Monument record 8694 - Excavated Possible Roman Sandstone Wall, Hunter Street

<1> Oxford Archaeology North, 2019, Northgate Redevelopment, Phase 1, Hunter Street, Chester: Archaeological Evaluation Report, R4486 (Client Report). SCH8969.

In 2019, a series of four test pits were excavated in the northern carriageway of Hunter Street, to assess the amount of archaeological disturbance caused by modern service runs beneath the road, to identify the precise positions of these services, and to determine the level, below the modern surface, of any significant archaeology that might have survived. Services were found to have extensively truncated the archaeological remains, however, in Test-pit 01, 0.3m below ground level, a sandstone block wall, orientated east-west, was recorded; it remains undated but is thought likely to be Roman in date.
