York Historic Environment Record

An archaeological evaluation, consisting of the excavation of five trenches, was carried out at Imphal Barracks, Fulford, York. The evaluation was required in advance of a proposed new development at the site, and to clarify the level and nature of any archaeological remains present, which would potentially be affected by the new development. The evaluation encountered several deposits dating from the 19th and 20th-century occupation of the site by the military. Two features of archaeological interest were excavated within the proposed development area. These remains pre-date the initial construction of the barracks in 1877, but are of unknown function and are not securely dated.
