SNN109160 - An Archaeological Standing Building Survey: Dry Fields Farm, Norton, Northamptonshire

This document is an archaeological standing building survey of an outbuilding formerly part of Dry Fields Farm, Norton, Northamptonshire (NGR SP 59953 62100), in advance of the proposed conversion of the building to residential use. The building is stone built with a modern corrugated asbestos cement sheet roof and likely to be 19th century in date. Historical sources indicate the building was originally part of the nearby Borough Hill Farm before being sold in the late 20th century. On first inspection the building appears to be a cart shed, however both documentary and physical evidence confirms the building was originally a cow hovel. There are a number of re-used timbers of unknown date and origin within the roof structure.
