A0790 St. George's Field Car Park, Pumping Station

Title: A0790 St. George's Field Car Park, Pumping Station
Alternative Title: 1992.14 Car Park, Pumping Station; 1993.14 Car Park, Pumping Station
Description: Alluvial deposits above naturally deposited material seemed to lie in a channel which may have been part of the original channel of the River Ouse. Alluvial deposits were found dating from pre-historic times to the medieval period. Timber piles and a cobble surface were encountered and may have dated to the Romano-British period or to the Anglo-Scandinavian period.

A limestone wall was thought to be part of St George's Chapel. Pits may represent medieval activity on the margins of the land not subjected to regular flooding.

A brick structure was thought to date to the 19th century and was sealed by modern deposits relating to the car park.
