York Historic Environment Record

In March 2003 York Archaeological Trust undertook an archaeological evaluation consisting of the excavation of two small trenches at the Bedford Hotel, 108-110 Bootham, York. The remains of a Roman road were present in the northernmost trench, with a large roadside ditch located in the second trench to the south. These features were sealed by a build-up of between 1.50-2.0m of horticultural soils, which were in turn beneath modern service trenches and the present car park surface
