Source/Archive record SYO223 - Carmelite Street

Title Carmelite Street
Author/Originator
Date/Year 1991

Abstract/Summary

Roman through to Anglo-Scandinavian deposits were not encountered at the depth the excavation reached. Three evaluation trenches and a series of boreholes demonstrated that well-preserved dumped material of the late medieval and early post-medieval period sealed a medieval timber revetment presumably at the edge of the King's Fishpool. The undulating surface of natural deposits suggests a complex course for the early River Foss.
