Description
A single evaluation trench in the courtyard of the English Martyrs Church Hall identified
archaeological features and deposits from c.0.35m below the current ground surface to
around 1.8m below the current ground surface. The archaeology consists of a very large ditch that may date to the Civil War, and the effects of landscape during and after its construction. A 0.30-0.40m deep ploughsoil seals the archaeology and may have protected it from the modern development of the area.
A Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI) was produced and an archaeological evaluation was
undertaken at English Martyrs RC Church, Dalton Terrace, York between 31st July and 6th
August 2014 by York Archaeological Trust (YAT) to satisfy condition 7 of the client’s planning
consent (see Appendix 3 for WSI and consent details).
This report follows an interim statement, report 2014/38, which was produced to facilitate
discussions between the client and the City of York Archaeologist, John Oxley, as regards the
activation of condition 8 of the consent, which relates to excavation requirements arising from
the evaluation. The pottery has since been assessed to support the dating and
interpretation of the archaeological sequence.
