Peel Hall, Warrington, Cheshire. Evaluation Report

An archaeological evaluation was undertaken in July 2001 of the area around Peel Hall,
Warrington, Cheshire (centred at NGR SJ 6150 9165), by Lancaster University
Archaeological Unit, on behalf of CPM Planning and Design Ltd for Satnam Millennium
Ltd. The work comprised a programme of trial trenching to determine the character and
extent of the archaeological resource within the area. The evaluation involved the
excavation of 0.5% of the site and comprised 36 trenches, mostly 50m in length. The
trenches were targeted to give maximum coverage of the area, and within areas of greatest
archaeological potential, as informed by the desk-based assessment undertaken by CPM.
Several areas within the site, however, were not evaluated because of ecological
constraints.
