York Historic Environment Record

Seven undated linear features, both ditches and smaller gullies, were identified. These features likely represent boundaries or field systems. Other archaeological investigation in the vicinity has revealed agricultural activity of Iron Age, Roman, Medieval and Post-medieval date. It is probable that the features represent agricultural activity belonging to one or more of these periods. A range of features relating to a mid-20th century airfield was also present, including the north-east end of one of the former airfield’s three WWII runways, associated perimeter tracks and utilities. In addition, the earthworks of a fighter dispersal pen and slit trenches were present.
