Abstract/Summary
The redundant church of Old St Oswald's, Fulford
in a suburb to the south of the city of York, on the east bend of the River Ouse, was converted into a private house in the early 1980s. The work was monitored by the York Archaeological Trust and
by the Department of Archaeology, University of York. Small-scale
excavation located part of the foundations of a structure, on a
similar orientation to and underlying the west end of the present
Norman building, probably an earlier church. This excavation also
provided below-ground details of the standing structure; these were
augmented by the observation of the fabric where it was disturbed
during construction. The interior was also recorded by rectified
photography.
Service trenches in the churchyard located the limits of the
medieval and later cemetery to the south and the foundation of pre-
1870 structures were recorded. This data complements the aboveground
survey of the now-cleared graveyard.
Finds include a fragment of Roman ?bottle glass, perhaps from a funerary urn, a Roman stone coffin lid, a stamped sherd of Anglo-Saxon pottery and part of a late lOth-llth-century cross shaft.
