Introduction
The project presents the results of both geophysical and building surveys conducted in advance of proposed development at Selby War Memorial Hospital. The works were commissioned by Faber Maunsell on behalf of Selby District Council and conducted by Archaeological Services Durham University.
The project was located at Selby War Memorial Hospital, off Doncaster Road approximately 1km to the south of Selby town centre in North Yorkshire (NGR centre: SE 60749 31567). The site comprised a green field of about 1ha in the north, over which geophysical survey was conducted, and the existing hospital complex in the south, where the buildings have been recorded.
The principal aim of the surveys was to assess the nature and extent of any subsurface features of potential archaeological significance within the field to the north, and of any features of historic or architectural significance in the standing buildings to the south, so that an informed decision may be made regarding the nature and scope of any further scheme of archaeological works that may be required in advance of development.
