Description
Between the 28th August and the 4th September 2018 York Archaeological Trust undertook
monitoring of geoarchaeological trial pits at Lilling Green, Strensall (SE 65024 63189).
Archaeological monitoring of site investigations for the Five Year Flood Management Plan for
York (FMP) was undertaken for Capita. The work was based on a Written Scheme of
Investigation produced by YAT. The works involved the monitoring and recording of 21 trial
pits.
Natural deposits were encountered at depths between 0.5m and 4m BGL and comprised of
clay, sandy clay and sand deposits. These evidenced the alluvial and fluvial activity of the River
Foss, with wood preserved in the fluvial waterlogged deposits close to the river.
