Abstract: |
The evaluation was undertaken to the rear of 3-7 Coney Street and consisted of two machine excavated trenches and three boreholes, sunk primarily for engineering purposes. The site lay between two of the medieval lanes which ran from Coney Street down to the banks of the River Ouse, and was shown as having been occupied by buildings on all extant maps of York, the earliest being Speed's of 1610. The upper levels of both trenches were filled with very modern debris. Beneath this material were a series of pits filled with demolition rubble which probably represented the deposition of material from the demolition of street front structures when the extant 17th century buildings were constructed. The potential for Roman deposits to lie deeper in areas beneath the level which modern flood waters regularly reached was also recognised. The stone river wall was also identified as an important archaeological monument which should be recorded in detail in advance of any proposal to cover or attach walkways to it. [Au(adp)] |
