Abstract:		 Archaeological features dating to the medieval and post-medieval period were identified at the site. A series of 19th century tanning pits were identified during the evaluation within Trenches 2 and 3. Four of these pits were seen within Trench 2 and elements of others, subject to some disturbance, within Trench 3. These were well-constructed features and represented the remains of an extensive distribution of such features known from cartographic evidence. The excavation identified the presence of a sequence of timber structures located in the eastern part of the excavation area, adjacent to and aligned with the Low Friar Street frontage. These structures pre-dated the establishment of the Dominican Friary in AD 1239. The evidence for the earliest phase of activity on the site was somewhat fragmentary due to later truncation, however two timber buildings (Buildings A and B) were identified in the eastern part of the site during Phase 1. These were superseded by a further three timber structures (Buildings C, D and E) in Phase 2. To the west of the buildings a boundary feature, comprising a ditch and a substantial timber fence line, was identified. Phase 3 saw the foundation of the Dominican Friary, the northern part of which lay within the development site. The stone wall demarking the limit of the friary precinct was exposed in two areas; in the western part of the site and adjacent to Low Friar Street. A substantial clay and rubble foundation for what is likely to have been a stone building (Building F) was identified within the main excavation area. During Phase 4 a further stone building (Building G) was constructed in the northern part of the excavation area, to the north of Low Friar Lane.
