Abstract/Summary

On the 7th December 2018 York Archaeological Trust (YAT) conducted a watching brief to monitor Geotechnical Boreholes at Simons Auto Services, 17 Mansfield Street. The works involved the monitoring and recording of four Geotechnical Boreholes across the site. Three boreholes were successful while the fourth was abandoned due to an obstruction. The boreholes were intended to reach a depth of 5m below ground level (BGL). There was potential to encounter deposits associated with the Kings Fish Pond and possible human remains from St Marys Church. Archaeological deposits encountered were predominantly made ground with potential for association with post-medieval clay extraction pits from the wider area. Natural was encountered at between 3.5m BGL and 4.7m BGL.
