Abstract

An archaeological watching brief was carried out for Atkins Heritage, on behalf of AE Yates, by Oxford Archaeology North (OA North) during the construction of a site compound required during improvement works around Junction 19 of the M6 motorway. The compound is situated to the south of Over Tabley, Cheshire (NGR centred SJ 7387 7978), and on the north-west side of Junction 19, and measured approximately 50m x 60m.
The site lies to the west of the A556 which overlies the projected Roman road running towards Chester and is therefore within an area of archaeological potential.
Consequently, Cheshire County Council’s Planning Archaeologist requested that a watching brief be maintained during topsoil stripping. The work was carried out over
two days, during 6th and 7th November 2006.
