York Historic Environment Record

First phase evaluation ahead of proposed development. Archaeological deposits comprising a series of ditches and gullies of Romano-British date were identified in the evaluation trenches in the north-western part of site. Roman pottery was recovered from several of the features in the north-west of the site. A flint knife tip recovered from one of the ditches may suggest human activity on the site in the Later Neolithic or Early Bronze Age. A programme of archaeological excavation is recommended to mitigate the impact of the development on the archaeological resource in the north-western part of site. This should be secured via a condition on the planning permission.
