York Historic Environment Record

This evaluation report provides a descriptive, drawn and photographic record of two evaluation trenches excavated in the yard of the Bootham Row Garage. Also included in this report are the results of the monitoring of the geotechnical investigations conducted by Dunelm Geotechnical & Environmental Ltd. The archaeological evaluation was undertaken in response to an archaeological condition on a planning proposal (planning ref. 15/02762/FUL) to demolish the garage and build nine apartments alongside a subsidiary single storey structure. The evaluation trenches (c.1.5m depth) revealed no evidence for any archaeological deposits or structures predating the 19th century. This appears to indicate that there has been substantial levelling and alteration to the ground level within this area, dating from the 19th century onwards.
