Find Spot record 435/0/10 - Excavated Roman pottery, Stockton Heath Area A

<1> Samuels J, 1981, Stockton Heath, Warrington - Level 3 Archive (Unpublished Document). SCH2991.

A series of trial excavations was carried out by Liverpool University Rescue Archaeology Unit in advance of building development in January 1981. Two areas were investigated: Area A (SJ61308627) was in the car park of the shopping precinct and the playground of the demolished St. Thomas' School, adjacent on the SW to the Church. No Romano-British features were revealed, but 3 (or possibly 5) sherds of Romano-British pottery and fragments of a clay tile were found in unstratified contexts, probably the products of local kilns. In several cases the subsoil had already been disturbed, probably by small-scale quarrying, which, in the 19th century had been partly responsible for the discovery of Romano British material in this locality.
