Abstract:
An evaluation excavation on an area of Walmgate that backs on to St Margaret's churchyard took the form of three trenches, with a nearby fourth at Paver Lane. Activity was evidenced from the tenth century through to the post medieval era. Anglo-Scandinavian floor levels were noted, along with a wattle lined pit, cobble surfaces, metalled surfaces, crushed clay moulds, a shallow grave containing a skeleton, a possible medieval lane surface which may have been an earlier incarnation of Paver Lane, and robbed out stone walls of the fifteenth to sixteenth centuries. Small finds included a copper alloy disc brooch with red enamel inlay, iron nails, strips and bars, and an antler tine. Holroyd, Isabel
