The wrecking site of the Ann Francis is a post-medieval maritime site located in Wales, designated as a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw's protection. The Ann Francis represents evidence of commercial shipping losses during the post-medieval period, when vessels engaged in trade routes around the Welsh coast were vulnerable to shipwreck and the subsequent salvage or stripping of wrecked material. The physical remains of such wreck sites typically include scattered artefactual debris, structural timbers, and ballast deposits that document both the circumstances of the vessel's loss and the activities of those who salvaged or exploited the wreck. This site contributes to the archaeological record of maritime commerce and coastal resource use in post-medieval Wales.
