- Description
-
In much of the observed area archaeological deposits had been truncated by modern buildings and service trenches. To the east of the area of excavation a mortar surface and limestone wall foundation were observed. These features were undated but may have been medieval.
Borehole cores revealed material from intercutting pits with high organic fills, one of which was timber lined. These Anglo-Scandinavian features suggest the area was used for rubbish disposal from properties fronting Coppergate and High Ousegate. - Type
