Abstract:
Attempts to locate and determine the condition of the curtain wall of York Castle turned up a number of graves, some dating to the nineteenth century and connected with the prison which was established in the late eighteenth century, and others cut into deposits dated to the tenth and eleventh centuries which may have been buried in relation to a now vanished pre-Conquest church. The only evidence for the castle defences appears in the form of post-holes and a substantial layer of clay, dated to the eleventh century by pottery association. Furness, Deborah
