- Description
-
A desk top study identified the likelihood that archaeological deposits would survive over all of the site and the deposits would include well stratified and well preserved waterlogged organic remains, of high archaeological value dating from Roman times to the post-medieval period. The area is known to have contained a Carmelite Friary, two parish churches, the Guild Hall of the Shoemakers and a Holy Priests House.
A watching brief of an extensive borehole survey recorded material which was interpreted as dumps and occupation deposits dating from the Roman and the Anglo-Scandinavian periods together with alluvial silts representing the River Foss and the infilling of the King's Fishpool in the later medieval period. In parts of the site significant medieval and post medieval occupation deposits were also noted.
