Source/Archive record SCH5401 - Chester Racecourse: Owners and Trainers Pavilion. Archaeological Watching Brief

The watching Brief identified the remains of late post medieval features associated with temporary structures erected during fairs, circuses and race meetings, as shown in a mid 19th century illustration of the race course. No archaeological deposits dating to the period prior to the 18th century were uncovered, the earlier archaeological deposits were possibly sealed beneath/within the exposed naturally formed silts, and would not be affected by the current programme of works.
