Livery Dole, Archaeological site in Exeter, England
The triangular archaeological site spreads between Heavitree Road, Polsloe Road, and Magdalen Road, featuring ancient buildings and historical structures.
The location dates back to 1278 and served as an execution ground until 1537, when Exeter received its status as an independent county.
Sir Robert Dennis established almshouses in 1591 to accommodate twelve elderly men, providing them with weekly allowances and annual supplies.
The Chapel of Saint Clarus stands at the eastern point of the site, constructed with red Heavitree stone during the 1592 reconstruction.
A Victorian memorial lamp post marks the triangle's apex, commemorating General Gordon, who died during the 1885 Siege of Khartoum.
