Abstract: |
In response to a planning application for the conversion of the barn at 76 High Street, Barkway, Hertfordshire, the Heritage Network was commissioned by Mr and Mrs Cooper to record the barn and monitor the groundworks associated with the development. The existing barn appears to have been constructed between 1808 and 1814, and was used as part of a slaughterhouse complex, with the associated lean-to acting as a pigpen. Although the cartographic evidence indicates that there was an annexe to the east of the barn, the archaeological evidence suggests that this may have been a freestanding building. Evidence for another freestanding building, possibly a bake-house, was revealed during the groundworks, as were cobbled surfaces in front of the barn, a probable layer of consolidation material east of the cart pond and drainage systems, both recent and possibly 19th century, from the east of the barn to the pond. |
