Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken to the rear of No. 8 Gillygate, York, on 16th June 2010, during the excavation of foundation trenches for a new extension. The trenches overlay the line of the infilled city ditch, flanking the external line of the city walls. The sequence enountered consisted of a buried soil which yielded a primary assemblage of late medieval to early post-medieval ceramic. Significantly, the date of the assemblage provided a terminus ante quem for the backfilling of the city ditch, of the early to mid-16th century. This horizon was overlain by a mixed layer containing rubble, and a range of 19th- to 20th century glass and ceramic. |
