Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken during the laying of cable ducting to the north of the city. The excavations lay within the York AAI and along the line of the Roman road as it left the north-west gate of the fortress. The upper deposits from the excavations consisted of several phases of modern road surfaces, those below the tarmac showed little evidence for archaeological remains. Cobbles were encountered at the deepest points in the excavations which seemed to be part of the fabric of the Roman road. Other excavations revealed several sherds of Samian ware, although these were mixed with pottery of a late medieval date. With little in the way of datable archaeological finds along the line of the excavations, it was assumed that any archaeological evidence had been removed during the construction of the highway. The excavations did reveal, however, the line of part of the Roman road, this, with other evidence of scattered occupation along the line of the road, could be assumed that ribbon development, mainly of the 2nd century, lay along the line of Clifton/Bootham.
