P5442 22 St Saviourgate, York

Title: P5442 22 St Saviourgate, York
Description: Although the foundation trenches penetrated up to 0.6m below the existing ground level nothing of any great archaeological significance was noted. At the very base of these trenches in places the soil was seen to be becoming cleaner and thus it is possible that a short distance further down lie deposits, features and structures of archaeological interest. Everything seen during the excavation of the foundation trenches and the overall strip appeared to be relatively modern levelling deposits, quite possibly to create a level garden. This process has been noted during work at No 26 St Saviourgate earlier this year and may be a common practice in the vicinity and effectively protecting the local archaeology from most minor and moderate interventions.
