Abstract: |
In March 2014 Archaeological Research Services Ltd was commissioned by Galliford Try to undertake an archaeological watching brief at The Friarage, Hartlepool, during investigative works on the building to establish whether or not there are an additional row of doors or windows at basement level. The site includes the remains of a former Franciscan Friary and a later 17th century mansion that succeeded it. The Friary has been partly excavated, revealing evidence of the robbed out walls of the Friary Church, cloister range and a number of human burials within it. Anglo-Saxon features, including buildings and boundary ditches have also been recorded. Two test pits were dug alongside the building on the east elevation underneath the two southernmost windows. The first test pit, at the southernmost extent of the elevation, revealed a blocked up doorway. The stonework in the blocked-up portion was very loose. When it was removed it was revealed that there was a stone arch behind the outer face of the building. The basement had been backfilled with modern demolition debris. The second test pit revealed the sill of a window with a single surviving stone mullion. A layer of render was obscuring the top of the window so it could not be established whether or not it was a full size window. The stonework that had been removed from the blocked doorway was reinstated and both pits were backfilled |
