York Historic Environment Record

A programme of archaeological observation, investigation and recording was undertaken by Humber Field Archaeology during groundwork associated with the construction of two new dwellings at 34 School Lane, Fulford, in the City of York. Only one feature was observed during the works - what appeared to be a backfilled ditch or depression running parallel to, and close by the north boundary of the site. There is a sunken pathway on the other side this boundary, and such a feature may also have run to the south. The boundary appears on the 1853 OS map. The finds from the site comprised fragments of pantile of 18th- and early 19th -century date, together with sherds of pottery that were very largely of the same date range.
