Ancient Settlement in Cheshire
During the construction of a gas pipeline by Transco from Birch Heath to Mickle Trafford in the west of Cheshire, this prehistoric settlement dating from the Middle Bronze Age to Late Iron Age (circa 1000BC to 50BC) was uncovered in the parish of Bruen Stapleford, near Brook House Farm. Subsequent excavations were carried out by Network Archaeology and funded by Transco.
Further details can be found in Fairburn, N., Bonner, D., Carruthers, W.J., Gale, G.R., Matthews, K.J., Morris, E. and Ward, M. “Brook House Farm, Bruen Stapleford – Excavation of a First Millennium BC Settlement”, Journal of the Chester Archaeological Society volume 77 (2002) and 'Prehistoric Cheshire' by V & P Morgan, Landmark Publishing (2004).
