Excavations at Northwich ( Condate )

The Roman sites of the Cheshire Plain have, with the exception of Middlewich, received little excavation in recent years. Indeed there has been no previous excavation at Northwich. Despite a very large degree of disturbance and other archaeological difficulties, the excavations established the existence of a two-phase auxiliary fort of Flavian origin on the site. After abandonment in the mid-2nd century, part of the area examined was occupied by furnaces associated with probable metal working. Rescue work during redevelopment also led to the discovery of a pottery kiln with stamped mortaria of the potter concerned, and an iron helmet from the military period. The coarse pottery and samian are also of particular interest. The former included several groups of fairly localized material from the Cheshire Plain an area from which comparatively little stratified coarse-ware has been published; the latter includes a group forming, it is suggested, the repertoire of a South Gaulish potter or workshop of the Domitianic—Trajanic period
