Source/Archive record SCH9398 - Langley Business Park, Langley Road, Langley, Macclesfield, Cheshire: Archaeological Watching Brief Report

An archaeological watching brief was undertaken in November 2022 by Oxford Archaeology (OA) North in advance of a proposed mixed-use residential and light-industrial development at Langley Business Park, Langley Road, Langley, Macclesfield (NGR: SJ 94017 71380). It had been recommended that archaeological mitigation on the development take the form of a targeted watching brief during groundworks.This work followed on from the production of a desk-based assessment (ECH7047, R4599, 2017). Given that development works on site had already commenced prior to OA North deployment, only limited recording was possible, with the only archaeological structures remaining comprising a retaining wall to the reservoir along the southern limit of the site, and a culverted mill race, which were to remain in-situ.
