York Historic Environment Record

An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by On-Site Archaeology at Kent Street, York during June and July 2013 on behalf of Drivers Jonas Deloitte. The watching brief was commissioned to satisfy a condition attached to the planning permission for the development. The investigation comprised the machine excavation, under archaeological supervision, of five trenches. Several archaeological features dated to the Roman period were discovered within the trenches excavated during this watching brief. The archaeological features comprised of pits and a ditch that may be associated with a regime of previously investigated Roman road and features within the vicinity.
