Abstract: |
In December 2008 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out a programme of historic building recording on an outbuilding at Rumbolds, a Grade II*-listed house at Spring Lane, Cottered, Hertfordshire. In May 2009 AS conducted a programme of archaeological monitoring and recording. The purpose of the work was to investigate and clarify the origins and development of the existing building prior to its proposed demolition and replacement with a new outbuilding. The investigation revealed a small timber-framed agricultural building of limited interest. Much of the structure appears to have been constructed from reused elements of one or more earlier buildings, which underwent considerable modification in the more recent past, with the replacement of its roof and insertion of a block-work stable. A cold northerly aspect, coupled with repair in unsympathetic modern materials, has resulted in accelerated decay of much timberwork. The building could be given a probable 19th century date based on its overall form. No archaeological features or finds were revealed during the groundworks associated with the proposed development. It is possible that the construction of the building in the 19th century truncated the site. |
