York Historic Environment Record

PROJECT DETAILS A programme of archaeological observation, investigation and recording was undertaken by Humber Field Archaeology during groundwork associated with the construction of 10 dwellings together with an access road and associated services, on land at the Sidings, The Village, Strensall. No pre-modern archaeological features were observed during the programme of works. A surviving section of railway platform retaining wall might date to the building of the line in 1845, but is more likely a remnant of a later 19th- or early 20thcentury reworking.
