Abstract: |
Planning Consent has been given subject to archaeological conditions, for the conversion of Ackworth Hall's farm buildings to provide ancillary accommodation for the present owners. The PDA consists of a series of historic farm buildings, part of an isolated farmstead west of High Ackworth, West Yorkshire. The historic farm buildings historically consisted of an L shaped building range, set around a rectangular farmyard. The farm buildings included: a threshing barn: stables/cow house; a pigsty with poultry house; an extension to the stables/cow house and a small lean-to shed abutting the main range. The barn survives largely in its original form but was re-roofed during the 19th century. The single storey stables/cow house was extensively remodelled during the late 20th century resulting in a general loss of historic features. A number of the buildings did survive up until last year (2007) relatively unmodified. This report records the existing buildings (extant 2008) and reconstructs as far as possible, the recently demolished buildings, through a series of historic digital photographs. The watching brief recorded a range of archaeological artefacts and deposits which has complemented our archaeological knowledge of Ackworth Old Hall. |
