Source/Archive record SCH8758 - Land adjacent to Meadow House, Wrexham, Chester, CH4 7QQ: Archaeological Watching Brief

An archaeological watching brief was undertaken during the groundworks associated with the erection of three detached dwellings on land adjacent to Meadow House, Wrexham Road, Chester, CH4 7QQ. The watching comprised a monitored topsoil and subsoil strip in a central band across the development area. Four circular pits were recorded in the northern corner of the site, three of which were aligned north to south. The pits, which were roughly 5.00m apart and uniformly shallow in profile, are thought to represent tree boles, probably created when the trees were removed, potentially by machine. Each of the pits produced post medieval pottery fragments, although these are thought to be residual.
