Description
Trial trenching and a borehole survey revealed that the site next to the River Foss had been extensively disturbed by massive 19th century foundations of Leetham's Mill. Beneath them, late medieval rubble, possibly used to reclaim land from the River Foss, sealed silty, waterlaid deposits indicating that part of the site had been within either the King's Fishpool or the river itself during the 11th and 12th centuries.
