| Abstract: |
A watching brief was carried out during the excavation of a foundation trench for a new revetment wall along a boundary between The Priory and Lichfield Street, at a site which lay within the precinct of a medieval priory. The house known as 'The Priory' was a Grade II Listed Building, dating from the early to mid-18th century. It incorporated part of a 13th century undercroft which had belonged to the medieval priory. Artefacts which had been found in the centre of Stone included a Neolithic or Bronze Age granite axe-hammer, a Roman coin, Roman pottery and Saxon and Danish coins. During the watching brief, a deposit of yellow sandstone rubble was observed, together with the remains of a boundary wall of red-brown dressed sandstone blocks. Eleven fragments of medieval architectural stonework were found, of which six were removed for further study and recording. Two appeared to have been similar to examples in an open arcade at the Narthex of Fountains Abbey, suggesting that they may have originated from the cloister built in the second half of the 12th century at Stone.
