Title
P5472 Jet Garage, 128 Lawrence Street, York
Description
The sandy gravel seen towards the base of the trench is likely to be natural. No features were seen cut into it but given the very restricted area exposed this is not, perhaps, surprising. The dark silt above this was probably a pre-modern agricultural soil of uncertain date and its thinness may suggest a degree of modern truncation. All other deposits seen were clearly of modern origin. It is believed that no significant archaeology was disturbed during these works but this observation indicated the potential for archaeology to survive in the area only c.0.5m below the existing modern ground level and any future or large scale works in the vicinity would be worthy of monitoring.
