Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological observation, investigation and recording was undertaken by Humber Field Archaeology during groundwork associated with the construction of 5 detached dwellings to the rear of 37-43 Towthorpe Road, Haxby, York. Monitoring of the excavations at the site revealed an interesting sequence of archaeological deposits. A large boundary ditch was recorded in the western side of the site, oriented northeast/southwest, with a further shallow ditch with perhaps integral foundation slot oriented northwest/southeast together with further features such as modern pits and land drains within Plots 4 and 5. In the southern area of the site, 2 linear features were recorded which appeared in the garage foundations for Plot 3; one of these appears to be a further boundary ditch oriented west/east which has been heavily truncated by previous drainage installation, the other a small, curvilinear slot. No artefacts were recovered during this programme of work. |
