Blackfriars (remains of) is a Dominican friary located in Yorkshire, England, founded in the medieval period as part of the widespread establishment of mendicant orders across England. The surviving remains comprise stone foundations and structural elements characteristic of Dominican architecture, reflecting the characteristic layout and building practices of thirteenth- and fourteenth-century friaries. The site represents an important example of medieval religious settlement and demonstrates the physical footprint of monastic life prior to the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the sixteenth century. The fragmentary remains provide archaeological evidence of the friary's construction and occupation phases, contributing to scholarly understanding of Dominican communities and their urban or semi-urban contexts in northern England.
