Archaeologists have uncovered the remains of a Neolithic settlement at Tarmac’s Borras Quarry, near Wrexham, during preparations for sand and gravel extraction.
Tarmac have now suspended soil removal while Clwyd-Powys Archaeological Trust (CPAT) excavate the remains, which are thought to be around 4,000 years old. CPAT project manager Nigel Jones said: ‘This is an important discovery as we currently have very little evidence of Neolithic settlement in this part of Wales.’
