Description
DBA south of designer outlet.
Previous investigations within the Site recorded significant archaeological remains in the
form of a Roman sarcophagus burial. The burial has been typologically dated to the 3rd to
4th century AD, and the skeletal remains encased in gypsum and interned in a stone coffin
represent a high status burial. Whilst this feature was identified in isolation through rescue
excavations during construction works, it is possible that further associated archaeological
remains occur within the Site. Furthermore, cropmarks recorded in the vicinity of the Site are
indicative of buried archaeological remains relating to a late prehistoric and/or Romano-
British field system, and it is possible that associated archaeological remains occur within
the Site. From the medieval period onwards, the Site appears to have formed part of the
historic agricultural hinterland of York. Whilst the potential archaeological remains that could
occur within the Site are unlikely to be of such significance as to influence or preclude
development, further archaeological works are likely to be required prior to any development
works.
