York Historic Environment Record

LS Archaeology was commissioned in December 2017, by Mr Brack to undertake a watching brief at The Acomb Chiropractic Clinic, 60a York Road, York. A small redevelopment was occurring at the property consisting of the change of use of rear clinic rooms (use class D1) to commercial office (use class B1) with kitchen, WC and additional parking. An archaeological condition was attached to this development due to the site being located within an Area of Archaeological Importance; the potential to disturb deposits dating to the medieval and Roman periods was good to high. On this occasion, the minimal ground reduction, required to facilitate the creation of additional parking, did not impact upon any archaeological deposits. During the watching brief, no archaeological features were encountered.
