Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken as part of a planning condition upon the redevelopment of the site. The evaluation revealed a small number of archaeological features of early medieval date, possibly water control features associated with the earlier mills on the site. A single ditch dating to the Late Iron Age/early Roman period was recorded, indicative of the intensive use of the Ouse valley during this period. Undiagnostic pottery sherds recovered from one of the early medieval ditches and an area of alluvium may have been indicative of a Saxon presence in the vicinity. Widespread ground disturbance from the former industrial use of the site, and subsequent demolition, was recorded across the site. Modern intrusions were common in all the evaluation trenches.
