Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring was requested by the City of York Archaeologist, to establish the presence or absence of any archaeological remains within the area of geotechnical investigation. The site is within the York Area of Archaeological Importance and nearby excavations have identified remains of Roman and medieval date.
Eight pits, each approximately 0.5m by 0.5m, was investigated. These comprised the starter pits for two bore-holes in Union Terrace car park, Groves Chapel car park, five ‘window sample’ test pits in the rear
gardens of numbers 93, 94, 95, 96 and 97 Union Terrace, and a sixth window
sample pit in Union Terrace car park. Each pit was hand-excavated to up to 1m, at which point the test pits were terminated, while the two boreholes were then completed using a percussive drill rig. No archaeological remains or artefacts were revealed. |
