Abstract:		 In January 2009, Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out a programme of Historic Building Recording on the grade II listed Lime Cottage and Walled Gardens at Balls Park, a substantial grade I listed mid-17th century country house in Hertford, prior to the residential redevelopment of the site. The architectural investigation work at Lime Cottage found a simple two-storey brick house with a Mansard roof, most of the surviving fabric of which can be dated to the period 18880- 1914. The building has however been grafted on to an 18th century garden wall to its rear and appears to retain the shell of an older, possibly also 18th century building up to a height of approximately 2 meters on the other three ground floor walls. The cottage is flanked by a smilple outbuilding to the north. A similar southern building once existed as evidenced by a scar on the adjacent walls. These appear to date from the 19th century, on the basis of the use of hand-made bricks and lime mortar. The cottage itself is distinguished by four late Gothic Revival windows inserted into the 18th century garden wall and internally, a cast iron fire grate with Art Nouveau decoration. The arrangement of the two walled gardens appears to be near contemporary with the main house and thus of early 18th century date. There are several later outbuildings and greenhouses of 19th century date in the northern walled garden, which lies immediately to the west of Lime Cottage. This garden also retains a pair of early 18th century wooden gates.
