York Historic Environment Record

This report presents the results of an archaeological evaluation undertaken at Derwent Road Playing Fields in January and Fevruary 2008 by Humber Filed Archaeology for Harron Homes. The evaluation revealed Romano-British drainage ditches, gullies or hedges delineating or sub-dividing fields or enclosures. In the medieval period the site formed part of the open fields of Osbaldwick resulting in the creation of ridge and furrow, some of which was still upstanding.
