York Historic Environment Record

Archaeological monitoring of window sample boreholes was undertaken by York Archaeological Trust between the 10th of April and the 12th of April 2017 at the Foss Barrier, St. George’s Field, York. The archaeological evaluation was conducted using a window sampler which was used to excavate six boreholes within the proposed foot print of the expanded Foss Barrier pumping station. These boreholes were also located within an area where previous SI monitoring by York Archaeological Trust had identified potentially significant deposits.
