Abstract:
A report of an evaluation in the Carmelite Street area of York comprising seven boreholes and three 3m-square trenches. The boreholes came upon a thick layer of alluvium possibly the result of damming the Foss to form a moat round the Norman castle in York, whilst the trenches recovered the remains of a revetment which possibly formed part of a quay. Carmelite Street covers part of the King's Fishpool site, which was half its original size during this period. Debris from the dissolution of the Carmelite friary had been dumped into the King's Fishpool. The subsequent gardens were built over by nineteenth century brick tenements. See also Oakey 92/681-2.
