Source/Archive record SCH8595 - Crown Farm Quarry, Oakmere, Cheshire: Archaeological Watching Brief

An archaeological watching brief was undertaken at Crown Farm Quarry, Oakmere, Cheshire (centred on NGR: SJ 57377 69866), with the aim of identifying and recording features of archaeological interest exposed during groundworks relating to extension of the quarry. Of particular interest was a Roman road which is projected to run through the extension areas. The watching brief comprised field walking followed by monitoring of the topsoil strip of the quarry extension areas, with the current project totalling approximately c.11ha of land. However, no archaeological features were identified in any of the three extension areas.
