A multi-phase project revealing Roman remains

A multi-phase high-rise residential project that revealed remains relating to the Roman civilian settlement outside the fort in Manchester and a rare survival of a potential prehistoric pit. The archaeological investigation took place beneath the Grade II Listed viaduct. Phase 1 consisted of a desk-based assessment, an evaluation and an excavation carried out by our archaeology team. For Phase 2, we produced a desk-based assessment and Environmental Statement chapter which indicated the high potential for remains from the prehistoric period onwards.
