Hungate was York’s largest excavation project. The site covered 2,500 sq m and lasted five years, commencing in 2007 and costing more than £3m. Finds from the site revealed over 2,000 years of continuous usage, including remains of a Roman cemetery, Viking cellars, and archaeology linked to the now-demolished medieval Church of St John’s in the Marsh, and a nearby Carmelite monastery.
The site is now largely build over, as part of a new complex of 720 new homes in York.
