- Description
- Trial pits within the old MFI showrooms demonstrated that although a Victorian iron foundry had removed most of the archaeological levels in the northern half of the area, the southern half retained complex stratigraphy of Roman to post-medieval date. Medieval infilling of the King's Fishpool and a sequence of medieval buildings fronting on to Walmgate were encountered. No evidence was found for a postulated Viking defence along the St Denys parish boundary.
