A chance find of Roman pottery in a garden at Irby, Wirral in the
1940s led in 1987 to the discovery of an important and long-lived
settlement site by archaeologists from National Museums &
Galleries on Merseyside (now National Musuems Liverpool).
Excavating from 1987 to 1996 in a series of suburban gardens, they
found evidence for a long sequence of occupation from the
mesolithic, Bronze Age, Iron Age, Romano-British, early medieval
and later medieval periods. This book presents the evidence of the
structures, artefacts and plant remains from this long-lived
settlement. Key discoveries include regionally important buildings
from the middle Bronze Age and from the Viking period, as well as
extensive Roman and late medieval occupation, which contributes
significantly to our understanding of settlement and economy in
Wirral and the wider region during these periods.
