Abstract:		 In October 2001, York Archaeological Trust undertook an archaeological evaluation of land off Masonic Lane. The evaluation comprised the excavation of four trenches which identified c.1.5m of post-medieval and modern overburden above the natural subsoils in the trenches located in the central part of the site. In the trench located close to Masonic Lane a significant medieval feature which was interpreted as part of a ditch was recorded c.0.35m below the modern overburden, which indicated the survival of important evidence from this period in part of the site. Environmental preservation in the samples examined was found to be poor, resulting from the prevailing free draining conditions but most of the bones were reasonably well preserved and represented the usual ranged of domestic species. The artefact assemblage from the modern and post-medieval contexts was of little archaeological interest but a hunting arrowhead of probable 11th-12th century date was recovered from the ditch. Further archaeological work was recommended where below ground deposits in the area adjacent to Masonic Lane were likely to be disturbed by the development programme. [Au]
