Abstract: |
Between the 2nd March and the 18th March 2020 York Archaeological Trust conducted an evaluation at Whitehall Grange, Wiggington Road, York YO32 2RJ (SE 59697 55520). The work was undertaken for Projex Building Solutions Limited to help inform a planning application that was under consideration by the City of York Council (19/00855/REMM). The work was based on a Written Scheme of Investigation produced by YAT. The works involved the excavation and recording of 30 trenches. Seven linear features, both ditches and smaller gullies, of uncertain date were identified. These features likely represent boundaries or field systems. A range of features relating to a mid-20th century airfield was also present, including the north-east end of one of the former airfield's three WWII runways, associated perimeter tracks and utilities. In addition, the earthworks of a fighter dispersal pen and slit trenches were present. |
