Abstract:		 Prior to the submission of a planning application to convert a former barn and renovate the farmhouse at Slackwood Farm, Silverdale, Lancashire, an archaeological investigation was carried out following a request by Doug Moir, Planning Officer (Archaeology) at Lancashire County Council. This report contains the results of the desk-based assessment for the site, carried out prior to the first element of the building recording, which will be reported separately. There are numerous pieces of historical and documentary evidence concerning the site of Slackwood Farm, but detailed information is surprisingly sparse. However, this study has revealed that some or all the current farmstead was constructed in the early 18th century, when an earlier house was replaced. The earliest recorded occupiers, recorded from at least 1632, are the Walling family who were clearly of some importance in the local area, were almost certainly the original owners, and were responsible for the early 18th century rebuilding. They probably held and occupied the site until the end of the 18th century, but by the mid 19th century it had been acquired by the Leighton Hall estate, who continued to own it until 2009. There are few details about the physical development of the buildings; the available maps only show that the house and barn were present by at least the early 19th century, although there are some discrepancies in the details they depict, and there were additional outbuildings that have subsequently been removed.
