Abstract:		 A watching brief on ground works for ground floor rear extension was undertaken by York Archaeological Trust on behalf of LHL Group. The objective of the watching brief was to record any archaeological deposits or structures exposed by the ground works. At the rear of the property an L-shaped foundation trench, measuring 0.6m wide, 3.6m north-east/south-west by 2.25m north-west/south-east was hand dug to a depth of 0.95m. Beyond the new rear extension foundations for a boundary wall were excavated by hand. These extended 4m to the north-east and measured 0.6m wide and 0.5m deep. The three earliest deposits did not yield any dateable material, although they were all present below Context 1008 within which late 17th or early 18th century pottery was present. The earliest deposits, Contexts 1010 and 1011, were different in character to those above. Context 1011 was much lighter in colour and clayey in composition. Context 1010 appears to be the backfill of a small pit that cut into the top of Context 1011. Unfortunately, both deposits were at the base of the foundation trench making further investigation impossible. No dateable artefacts were recovered. Post-medieval and modern activity at the rear of 60 Gillygate comprised garden soils, Contexts 1008 and 1009, over which a brick-built outbuilding had been constructed. This structure was built,perhaps at some point in the 19th century, up against the boundary wall of the neighboring property to the north-west. More recently, the building had been removed, following which the adjacent ground had been levelled up then concreted over, creating an area of hard standing. The 1889 Ordnance Survey map shows a small freestanding building a short distance from the existing workshop at the rear of 60 Gillygate. A sequence of modern and post-medieval deposits were found within the full 0.95m profile of the foundation excavation. Present at the base of the rear extension excavation probable medieval features and deposits were present sealed below the post-medieval garden soils. Twenty three sherds were retrieved from archaeological intervention at 60 Gillygate, York. They are mostly post medieval and range in date from the late 17th to the 19th century. They include Slip ware, post medieval earthenwares, Pearl and Transfer Printed wares.
