Digital Archive from Trial Trench Evaluation Work at Lever Park Avenue, Horwich, Bolton, Greater Manchester, June 2022

This collection comprises images, site records and CAD from trial trench evaluation work at Land off Lever Park Avenue, Horwich, Bolton, Greater Manchester. This was undertaken by Archaeological Research Services Ltd in June 2022. The evaluation comprised of 12 trenches, 50m by 1.8m wide each. No archaeological remains, deposits or features of any kind were encountered during the excavation of the twelve evaluation trenches. Although cartographic evidence had highlighted the possible presence of a long standing 16th century pond, a medieval plague pit and a 19th century horse race course, no remains were observed that could have been attributed to these features. The presence of a number of stone capped and ceramic (horse shoe) land drains likely relate to the significant waterlogging and flooding in attempt to manage the excess water.
