GMAU advised on archaeological interests at the massive Stamford Brook housing development (700 houses). An excavation took place behind 6 Old Market Place, Altrincham, finding a 13th century ditch belonging to the burgage plot as well as an important assemblage of mid-18th pottery from a large pit. Palaeo-environmental analysis of the pit and ditch showed which crops were being cultivated in the local area.
