Description
Between November 2016 and January 2017, York Archaeological Trust (YAT) carried out an
archaeological investigation at a proposed health and retail development in Heslington, York
(NGR SE 63730 50930). The work was undertaken for Kilmartin, Plowman and Partners Limited
in relation to a planning application (15/00049/FULM) and was based upon a Written Scheme
of Investigation (WSI) written by YAT.
The monitoring of intrusive groundworks revealed traces of historic plough scars, land drains
and hedgerows, however, no significant archaeological deposits were encountered. The
removal of modern overburden revealed that the lower lying south-western half of the
development area was particularly heavily truncated by landscaping and services associated
with the compound of the recent Heslington East development.
