Abstract: |
In May 2006, North Pennines Archaeology Limited were commissioned by Green Design Group to undertake an archaeological building recording project of two barns at The Heugh, Walton, Brampton, Cumbria (NY 5361 6511) in advance of a proposed redevelopment, which would involve the demolition of one barn and the conversion of the other to residential and holiday use. Traditional farm buildings are notoriously difficult to date when documentary evidence is scarce; no direct reference to the farm is made before 1829, though the property may be shown on the Hodskinson and Donald map of 1770. The survey demonstrated that the farm buildings are well built and display signs of architectural detail. The farm buildings display several periods of reconstruction and addition, in particular Building A. The masonry section of this building appears to be the earliest part of the structure, with the brickwork to the north replacing earlier stone-built walls. Building B is of single-phase construction, with no sign of addition or removal to its main fabric. The rusticated nature of the masonry used for the door jambs, lintels and voussoirs may hint at a mid-19th century date. Building C can be seen to have been constructed some time between the c.1865 and 1901. It is difficult to suggest a date for the establishment of a farm on the site. The presence of the cottage hints at occupation from at least the 18th century, but it is not known if there were any agricultural buildings associated with it. |
