Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out on the site of a proposed extension to the Starting Gate restaurant. The site was on the presumed line of the main Roman road into York from the south-west, via Tadcaster. A part of this road, and one of its delineating ditches were amongst the host of Roman features revealed, most of which were dated by pottery to the 1st and 2nd centuries AD. Post-holes indicated a possible structure beside the road, and a cobbled surface was tentatively interpreted as a path aligned alongside the building. Evidence of Roman settlement was also found to the west of the road, altogether between two and five phases of Early Roman activity on the site were suggested. Medieval pottery found also indicated medieval settlement in the area in the 11th and 12th centuries. In the post-medieval and modern periods the land had predominantly been used for agricultural purposes. [Au(adp)] |
