York Historic Environment Record

Between the 23rd January and the 24th January 2018 York Archaeological Trust conducted a trial trench evaluation at 9 The Crescent, York (SE 59563 51394). The work was undertaken for SPV to help inform a potential planning application. The work was based on a Written Scheme of Investigation produced by YAT. The works involved the excavation and recording of a single 4m x 4m trench. The evaluation uncovered horticultural and agricultural soils dating from the medieval to post-medieval periods, as well as a potential Roman cut feature. Substantial modern made ground deposits of almost 2.00m sealed the archaeology. It is considered there is a high potential for medieval and Roman archaeology present on the site from 2.00m BGL.
