York Historic Environment Record

PROJECT DETAILS An archaeological watching brief was carried out at Poppleton Gate House, Millgates, York, prior to the construction of a new building. An area of approximately 1400m2 was stripped to a maximum depth of 0.80m below ground level prior to the excavation of foundations. This revealed a clean, reddish-brown sandy subsoil overlain by less than 0.50m of sterile buried soil and modern overburden. No features of archaeological significance were encountered.
