As all excavated extended to the maximum disturbance identified for the proposed development, it was thought that no archaeological deposits would be disturbed during groundwork.

No archaeological features were identified, however, at the base of the trench an undated make-up layer was encountered. It was assumed that this context marks the upper levels of archaeological deposits on the site.

Archaeological Evaluation Webster, T Chester : Gifford & Partners, 2007, 26pp, colour pls, figs, tabs, refs Work undertaken by: Gifford & Partners The results of the evaluation revealed a deep deposit of post-medieval soils in the northern part of the site, sealing medieval and Roman soil horizons. Shallower post-medieval soils sealing Roman and medieval features in the south-western corner of the site were also revealed.

An Archaeological Evaluation Dodd, L J Flintshire : Earthworks Archaeological Services, 2007, 29pp, colour pls, figs, tabs, refs Work undertaken by: Earthworks Archaeological Services Five evaluation trenches were excavated. The results produced clear evidence for Roman period activities across much of the site, together with the complex remains of successive (probably) Roman structures on the west side of Souters Lane. A rock-cut feature, probably a drain and potentially of Roman origin, was also recorded. Soil layers and rubbish disposal pits, rich in finds and dating to the late medieval and earlier post-medieval periods, were identified over the southern area of the proposed development site. These overlay and cut into the underlying Roman quarry deposits.

To the centre of the site, evidence of an 18th century tanning pit was identified, containing small fragments of oak bark. To the north of the site a series of Roman ditch fills were identified which extended beyond the scope of the trench. Several fragments of Samian ware and orange ware dating to the 1st and 3rd centuries AD were recovered from the Roman deposits on the site. It was thought that the Roman ditch was an extension of a ditch identified to the south of the site during previous work in the area.

Two features were identified during these investigations. The first was a narrow linear ditch running east-west across the site. The second comprised a wider ditch running north-south located to the west end of the site. No dating evidence was recovered from either feature although modern disturbances at the base of the north-south aligned ditch showed reuse of an earlier hedgeline.

Linear features and two post holes of post-medieval date were sealed below the redeposited material.

Due to the depth of the excavation and the extant of subsequent backfilling, the majority of the course was not fully evaluated. The areas that were accessible were inspected via exposed sections. The exposed sections confirmed the existence of medieval activity in the form of ridge and furrow.
