Description
Borehole evidence indicated the presence of medieval alluvial material and suggested that the site lay within the King's Fishpool. The excavated deposits comprised levelling deposits probably used to reclaim land from the River Foss. They were waterlogged with good organic preservation and dated from the 16th -19th century. Large quantities of animal bone in the 18th century deposits appeared to have been discarded waste from leather processing.
