Archaeological investigations at Lion Medical Centre, Lowndes Road, Stourbridge, West Midlands (NGR SO 8945 847), comprised an initial evalaution of four trenches followed by monitoring of the groundworks for the complex. The works took place on behalf of The Environmental Dimension Partnership who are acting on behalf of Verlane Limited.

An undated palaeochannel was also discovered to the north east of the site. Further 19th Century structures were found during the monitoring of the gorundworks. |
