York Historic Environment Record

Watching brief of 9 trenches identified the stone sill walls for the timber framed building incorporated into the present building. The sill walls included 12th century architectural fragments derived from the choir of the Minster. These sill walls and analysis of the timber frame exposed during work on the building suggested a building dating to c.15th century. Associated deposits recorded in the watching brief produced 15th and 16th century pottery. There was also extenisve evidence for yard surfaces and walls dating to the 18th-19th century associated with buildings shown on the 1852 Ordnance Survey. This work added to the information from a YAT excavation (EYO5238).
