Land at Denbigh Drive, Shaw, Greater Manchester Archaeological Evaluation Report

The principal objectives of the archaeological evaluation were to test anomalies and ‘blank’ areas identified on the geophysical survey undertaken by Magnitude Surveys in 2021, and to characterise any archaeological remains identified to inform a decision as to whether any further mitigation would be required. The result of the evaluation were minimal, with ditched features being identified in five of the eight trenches, which likely relate to field boundaries as depicted on historic mapping. The environmental and finds data also appears to suggest that the remains are post-medieval in date and of low significance.
