Abstract: |
Between the 16th and the 31st May 2018 York Archaeological Trust conducted an evaluation comprising monitoring and logging of boreholes and trial trenches at 46-50 Piccadilly, York (SE 6061 5153). The site lies within York's Area of Archaeological Importance as defined by the Scheduled Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979. The work was undertaken for Dunelm Geotechnical and Environmental Ltd to meet requirements laid out in planning consent agreed by City of York Council (17/00429/FULM). The work was based on a WSI produced by YAT. The works fall within Phase 2 of borehole survey and involved the excavation and recording of three trial trenches, 2 cable percussion drilled boreholes and nine lightweight windowless dynamic rig drilled boreholes, four of which were designated as water monitoring points, used for data gathering as part of a five year monitoring programme for analysis of water quality and hydrology. The purpose of the SI works was twofold: to gather geotechnical information for engineering purposes; to record and assess the archaeological deposition and preservation, also to install water quality and hydrology monitoring devices employed in a five year monitoring programme, designed to inform on the stability of waterlogged archaeological deposits present at the site. |
