- Description
-
In January 2002, York Archaeological Trust undertook a programme of archaeological investigation of a small block of land at the northern end of Knapton Village, on the western edge of York. The evaluation consisted of the excavation of three trenches across the site.
In Trenches 1 and 2 modern deposits were found to directly overlie the natural sub-soil and no features, structures, or deposits of archaeological significance were noted. In Trench 3 a thick deposit, probably a plough soil of medieval date, was noted. Two features, one a possible ditch or pit and the other an animal burial, were recorded from this trench but both are believed to be relatively modern.
The evaluation found no significant evidence for activity of any major archaeological interest in the trenches examined and therefore across the whole site although it is possible that larger scale stripping of the topsoil might reveal some archaeological features. - Type
