Abstract:		 An evaluation excavation consisting of three 3 square metre trenches was carried out in The Arts Centre, Bird Street, Lichfield prior to consideration of a planning application. Evidence was found for use of a twelfth century land surface, followed by the flooding of the area, which is interpreted as part of the creation or enlargement of Minster Pool when Lichfield new town was laid out in the mid-twelfth century. From the late medieval period the land was gradually reclaimed and there is ample evidence of dumping of material including debris from ironworking, leather-working, butchery, industrial use of bone and perhaps of pottery manufacture as well as the dumping of household refuse. Part of the site was raised I the mid-seventeenth century, perhaps associated with the Civil War. Several phases of brick buildings of eighteenth and nineteenth century were present, which were not shown on historic maps. The remains are considered to me of regional importance and will in large part be destroyed by the proposed development.
