Description
Between the 14th and the 15th February 2022 an evaluation took place at the proposed site of the York Minster Centre of Excellence located on the York Minster grounds.
The work was undertaken for the Dean & Chapter of York Minster and involved the excavation and recording of one trench and two test pits.
Trench 1 uncovered probable garden soils and construction demolition material. In Test Pit 1
brick footings for the deanery boundary wall were found. The deposits encountered were
garden soils and construction spreads associated with the wall construction. Test Pit 2
contained garden soil and made ground deposits. No significant archaeology was encountered
at the depths reached by the evaluation.
