Abstract:
Well-preserved organic deposits were recorded at depth in 22 of the investigation holes. Little dating evidence was recovered but it was believed that Roman, Anglo-Scandinavian and medieval deposits were represented. Further evidence for a possible natural ridge extending south from The Stonebow towards the River Foss was also recorded as well as a possible natural valley or stream that flanked the south-west side of Hungate. This may have continued in use into the medieval period possibly as a King's Drain or perimeter ditch for the Carmelite Friary. Some of the boreholes also suggested that certain low-lying areas of the development had been built up to a sufficient height prior to the creation of the King's Fishpool in the 11th century. [Au]
