Description
".. revealed new information on the eastern suburbs of York. Two phases of Roman activity included two large pits dug to extract the natural clay. These and the presence of 12 wasters of 2nd or 3rd C grey ware suggest that pottery manufacture was taking place nearby in the Roman period. No Anglian activity was found but a series of rubbish pits (including one with a wattle lining), west of a palisade trench, dated to the 10yh-11th C. A little later in the 11th-12th C, two post-built structures were erected, separated by a fence. All the occupation levels from these buildings had been destroyed by the ploughing which had taken place on site until the 19th C"
