York Historic Environment Record

A redevelopment of the York Art Gallery by York Museums Trust (YMT) intends to redevelop the internal structure of the building and reclaim unused land behind the Art Gallery. In advance of these developments, investigations to establish the nature and condition of geological deposits directly beneath the building necessitated the drilling of three bore hole pits in the area surrounding the Art Gallery. An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by York Museums Trust between 29/06/2013 and 04/07/2013 to record these investigations. Accession no: YORYM:2014.321 Parker A/2014/Report on an Archaeological Watching Brief: York Art Gallery, Bore Holes.
