Archaeology - Eastern Tower Roman Fortress

York is a very old city with evidence of former inhabitatnts under the city you see today. This means that archaeology is an important facet of life in York. Just a little further along the city wall from yesterday's photo of the Ice House you will come across a hole in the ground. here are the remains of the Eastern corner tower of the Roman fortress of Eboracum. Behind the hole you can see an old building that is the the Merchant Taylor's guild hall.
