Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was carried out during the installation of a new electricity cable along Bishophill Junior and Lower Priory Street, as part of the redevelopment of 20 Bishophill, York. The watching brief comprised the monitoring of a single trench approximately 167 m long, with a width of 0.40 m. The trench was excavated to a depth of 0.90 m at road crossings and 0.80 m along the footpath; there is no evidence that medieval or earlier horizons were impacted. The lowest deposits seen within the trench appear to be of 19th-/20th-century date. Finds were recovered in some quantity (approximately 30 kg) from along the cable trench. With the exception of a few medieval items, which were clearly residual, the assemblage was entirely of post-medieval/modern date, with a likely date range of 18th to 20th century, although most if not all could be accommodated within a range of 19th to 20th century. |
