Full Description
{1} Trial excavation showed that the area south of the barn had been levelled to build a cart shed, probably in the second half of the 19th century. A soak-away, probably for the stable drain, and a vestige of the cart shed foundations were recovered. There was no other archaeology present.
First Edition OS map of 1885 shows the barn as it is today, but with the addition of a simple rectangular building to the south, occupying a similar footprint to the extension now planned.This was apparently a cart shed and was open-fronted. At its north end stood an above ground agricultural diesel tank, while in front was a telegraph pole. OS maps show that the shed stood until the 1970s.
Trench 2 revealed a square, lime-mortared setting of Victorian or early C20th bricks. This probably formed the base for a pillar supporting the eaves of an open-fronted cart shed (shown on the 1885 OS map), later used for tractors. Adjacent to this was the sawn off half-decomposed remains of a telegraph pole.
The relatively flat ground to the south of the barn was probably levelled for the construction of a cart shed prior to 1885. This may have removed earlier material, if there was ever any.
