York Historic Environment Record

Observation of the initial trenches, in the south-west part of the site, suggested that the construction of the existing tennis court in c.1985 had destroyed any archaeological remains in the vicinity. A concentrated group of disarticulated human bone was found at the southern angle of the new building which may have come from a burial disturbed during construction of the tennis court and reburied immediately. Further north-east the upper part of a known gravel pit was seen and this would also have destroyed any archaeology in the immediate area.
