Abstract: |
In January 2008, Birmingham Archaeology undertook an archaeological watching brief at The Friary, Lichfield, Staffordshire during the excavation of a trench for communication cables to the south of the remains of the Franciscan Friary (Scheduled Ancient Monument No. 21560, SMR PRN 00048). THe Friary is thought to have been established around 1237 and was dissolved in 1538. The trench was excavated within the pavement area on the northwest side of the street known as 'The Friary'. Undated sandstone foundations for a northwest-southeast orientated wall were revealed in the southwest part of the trench. the sandstone wall was probably associated with the Friary cloister or other structures relating to the Friary, remains of which are located adjacent to the northwest. no other significant archaeological features or deposits were encountered and no artefacts were recovered. |
