Description
Desk Based Assessment
This desk-based assessment has been compiled in order to determine the impact on potential
archaeological remains of a proposed development at Elvington airfield, York. It has been
prepared to support a planning application to develop the area for domestic housing.
In compiling this report it has become clear that the site could contain archaeological remains
(in addition to the airfield itself), although the full potential of these remains is as yet
uncertain. It is possible that if present they could be prehistoric to Romano-British in date
although remains from later periods are possible. The known archaeological resources within
the site comprise a probable Roman coin hoard (MYO238-40), an area of ridge and furrow
(MYO2570) and the airfield itself (MYO3480). However, a number of sites, possibly of Iron
Age/Romano-British date, lie to the north and south of the site. Furthermore, it is possible that
a medieval site is present in the vicinity of Langwith House.
