Wessex Archaeology has been commissioned by CgMs Consulting to carry out a programme of archaeological evaluation trenching on land to the southwest of George Street, Pocklington, Yorkshire, centred on National Grid Reference 480093, 449013. The Work was undertaken ahead of the proposed residential development of the Site (Planning Application Ref. 16/02134/PLF). The archaeological works comprised the excavation of four evaluation trenches within the footprint of the development, with each trench to measure 10 m by 1.8 m. The trenches were positioned to achieve a representative sample of the site as well as to target areas to be disturbed by the forthcoming groundworks. The evaluation was successful in identifying features relating to the field systems and backyard plots along the western edge of the town. No features were identified to indicate settlement within the Site boundary pre dating the Post-medieval structures fronting on to George Street.
