Monument record 1633/2/5 - Lyme Park Driveway

<1> University of Manchester Archaeological Unit, 1994, Lyme Park, North West Water Trunk Main, R2067 (Client Report). SCH4304.

Watching brief undertaken in October and early November 1994 during the laying of a 315mm diameter trunk main through Lyme Park, from the Treatment Works north of Horse Coppice Reservoir (SJ 9685 8385), northwards through Disley. The line of the post medieval carriageway issuing from the northern side of the park was cut by the line of the water main. A 10m length of this earthwork was cleaned and survived as a shallow raised agger, c.6m wide and 0.5m high, with ditches either side surviving as shallow earthwork features, c.2.8m wide and 0.5m deep. It had a metalled surface formed by cobbles 0.1m to 0.3m in diameter.
