York Historic Environment Record

Linear features identified during archaeological evaluation which may be part of an enclosure – albeit not clearly defined on the geophysical survey. These may be features functioning as a stock corral, in an area given over to pasture and seasonal animal movement. The low quantities of finds
and burnt bone do not suggest any intensive occupation in this area and could easily have derived from manuring of the fields. The burnt cereal grains recovered from a palaeoenvironmental sample are heavily abraded and do not necessary reflect on-site processing of grain. For the date of this site, the small amounts of pottery and CBM that were recovered seem more solidly Romano-British than MYO4340 and therefore this site is currently thought to represent a later phase of activity in the area.
