York Historic Environment Record

A scheme of Archaeological Evaluation by Trial Trenching was undertaken on Land South of Main Street, Wheldrake, North Yorkshire, on the 30th September 2019. Commissioned by Barratt/ David Wilson Homes and Vernon Land Partnership, the scheme was proposed to examine the potential for archaeological remains on the site. The results of this work would then allow the City of York HER to advise the Local Planning Authority on an appropriate mitigation strategy, if required. A total of twelve trenches were excavated and have concluded that no archaeology was present at the site. Given the result of this work and in consultation with the City of York HER no further archaeological work is required on this site.
