page 287 note 1 The site has produced at various times such miscellaneous material as two Roman stone coffins (Handbook to the Antiquities of the Yorks. Philosophical Society, 1891, pp. 52 and 53), a hanging bowl ‘with interlacing work’ and three escutcheons (ibid., p. 214), and a late Anglo-Saxon loom weight (Yorks. Arch. Journ. xxxiv, 112–13).

page 287 note 2 ‘In Eboraco civitate tempore regis Edwardi praeter scyram archiepiscopi fuerunt vi scyrae. Una ex his est vastata in castellis.’ Transcribed from the 1862 facsimile of the Domesday Book (Yorks.). ‘In castellis’ probably refers to York Castle and Bailey Hill on the opposite bank of the river Ouse.
