Abstract

The Manchester Airport relief road has provided archaeologists with a unique opportunity to examine a swathe of historic landscape south of Manchester. This 'slice through time' has yielded some surprising and important results, casting light on previously poorly understood aspects of our history in this area. Two highlights are a previously unknown Bronze Age monument and the extensive remains of Norbury corn mill.
