Abstract: |
An Archaeological Evaluation by Trial Trenching was undertaken on land to the rear of 27A New Street, Pocklington in August 2011 prior to the redevelopment of the site for residential dwellings. The evaluation consisted of the excavation of two 5m x 2m trenches, both were situated along the northern boundary of the site. All of the overburden (including topsoil and subsoil) was removed using a mechanical excavator, fitted with a toothless ditching bucket. All machine excavations were undertaken under full archaeological supervision. After removal of overburden, the excavation areas were hand-cleaned. Excavation located archaeological activity datable by associated pottery from the 12th – 19th centuries. Features from this period were characterized by a series of postholes and pits. The arrangement of large pits, which most probably functioned as latrine pits as defined by their associated fills. Structural activity was only apparent in Trench 2 and dated to the 20th century. However, a large dump of demolition material of 19th/200th century date was found on the site and may equate to demolished properties which originally fronted on to St Peters Square. A cinema is known to have existed on the site in the early part of the 20th century and fragments of decorative stone and impressed brick from this building were located. |
