York Historic Environment Record

An archaeological watching brief was carried out by On-Site Archaeology Ltd at Haisthorpe House nursing home, 139 Holgate Road, York, during groundwork associated with the development of a single storey pitched roof extension to the rear of nursing home outbuilding. The watching brief revealed a subsoil or possible plough-soil of an unknown date, which was sealed by a sequence of levelling and garden soils probably associated with Victorian or earlier garden landscaping. No archaeological features or finds were identified or recovered during the investigation.
