Abstract: |
In February 2012 an archaeological building survey of an outbuilding at Pear Tree Cottage, Upper Green, Moreton Pinkney (NGR: SP 57688 49221), was carried out prior to the structures partial demolition and conversion to a dwelling. The survey revealed that the structure comprised a stone built barn with a late 20th century single-storey extension. The barn itself was much altered as part of a 1988 domestic conversion however surviving elements and features including blocked ventilation slits and an original tie beam suggest that it may date to the first half of the 18th century. Historic mapping shows and the 1848 tithe apportionment show that in the 19th century the barn occupied an orchard and it is tentatively suggested that it may have originally functioned as a fruit store. |
