York Historic Environment Record

Between 17th and 21st March 1997 York Archaeological Trust undertook an evaluation excavation at 47-55 Tanner Row, York. This work was undertaken in advance of redevelopment of the site and consisted of two trenches at widely spaced locations within the site. This evaluation has clearly demonstrated that below a relatively thin capping of modern material lie deposits, features, and structures of archaeological significance and in a good state of preservation. The possibility that Roman structures survive barely 1.0m below the modern ground surface would make any form of development in this area problematic. Microfilm Index PRN: 6371.
