Abstract: |
In response to a condition on the planning permission for the redevelopment of Bury Green Farm, Bury Green, Little Hadham, Hertfordshire, the Heritage Network was commissioned by the developer to undertake a programme of Historic Building Recording and Archaeological Monitoring. Buildings 32, 34, 35 and 38 form a contemporary group of farm buildings which date to the mid-19th century, a period of wide-scale farm modernisation. - Buildings 32 and 34 have been extensively remodelled but retained king-post roof trusses with parallel queen-struts in similar style. - Buildings 35 and 38 also share a similar roof structure. Building 35 was used as stables and is likely to have been constructed as a byre, possibly for cattle. Building 38 was also used as stables but appears to have been open fronted originally. Monitoring of footings and drainage trenches followed the contractors timetable but the foundations for units 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7 and garage blocks 4, 5, 6 and 7 were excavated and concreted before inspection could take place. Evidence for a perched water table or natural spring was observed in plots 1, 2 and 3 and a number of modern field drains and some concrete foundations were encountered. No further evidence for the Roman activity, noted in the evaluation stage of the project, was encountered. |
