Source/Archive record SCH8874 - Danes Moss, Macclesfield Cheshire: Interim Report on an Archaeological Watching Brief

An archaeological watching brief was undertaken at Danes Moss, Macclesfield, in June 2002, following the earlier identification of an intact section through the peat deposits and the collection of a sample of the peat. The watching brief monitored the excavations for a new lagoon within the area of the Danes Moss landfill site. The peat deposits recorded survived to a depth in excess of 3.5m. Samples were taken from distinct horizons within the peat for palaeoenvironmental assessment (see R2653.2, SCH4997).
