York Historic Environment Record

DBA This Desktop Assessment has been prepared at the request of O’Neill Planning Associates Ltd in support of an application for planning permission to redevelop the site of the Old Railway Station and Hotel, to the southwest of Station Rise, York. The assessment indicates that the site has the potential to contain archaeological remains of Roman to Post-medieval date. Survival of archaeological features across the site is likely to be highly variable, and dependent on the impact of 19th century works associated with the construction of the Old Railway Station that occupied the site. Archaeological work in former railway properties to the southwest of the application site indicated that archaeological deposits had not been completely removed in any of the observed areas. A similar situation is possible on the application site.
