Eastwood house, Festival of Archaeology 2016

A busy archaeology weekend saw mebers of the public expose more of the foundations of Eastwood House in Cheetham Park, stalybridge

Saturday saw the Manchester Young Archaeologist club open up their own area on the area of the main house trying to find the west wall.

The general public exposed the entrance to the main house overlapping excavations in 2014, with finds such as a mason mark in a stone and a fragment of a pilaster.

Many thanks to all the TAS members for helping out with the event.
