York Historic Environment Record

Archaeological monitoring took place during the excavation of drainage and associated petrol interceptor for the SISK compound car park on Leemans Yard during November and December 2022. A linear drain cut, aligned approximately east -west, was excavated from the centre of the access road to the location of the petrol interceptor. This drain cut was c.600-800mm wide and up to 2.6m deep. Structural remains of mid-20th century date were observed along with earlier track beds over a buried soil that contributed useful data to the emerging deposit model. No archaeological deposits of significance were encountered.
