Abstract/Summary
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken in 2019 during groundworks associated with the construction of an In Vessel Composting (IVC) facility with associated Aerated Static Pile (ASP) composting, screening and blending operations on land to the west of Middlewich road, Leighton Grange.
The watching brief successfully revealed the remains of the Middlewich to Whitchurch Roman road, oriented north-east/south-west, with flanking drainage ditches. This correlates with the alignment suggested by historic Ordnance Survey mapping. The remains had been quite heavily truncated during the construction of a twentieth century trackway.
