Type and Period (2)
Full Description
A substantial sandstone wall was identified along Black Friars, between 2009 and 2012 (1). The investigations were carried out during the installation of gas pipelines and involved a large number of trenches across the city.
In Trench 44, the wall was observed for 2.74m in length, on a east - west alignment, was one course high (0.28m) and one block wide (0.44m). The Dominican Friary precinct wall is believed to exist within the vicinity of this trench, and the wall might represent a foundation wall existing before the road was widened.
