Abstract:		 In November 2013 Archaeological Solutions (AS) conducted an historic building recording at the barn at Actons Farm, High Wych, Hertfordshire. The recording was undertaken in advance of the conversion of the redundant barn to a single residential unit and the demolition of a modern lean-to to the rear. Technical analysis reveals that, despite superficial external decay to the weather-board cladding and a proliferation of vegetation, the timber-frame is well-preserved. The latter is of five bays, dating to the latter part of the 19th century, and constructed in a highly consistent and systematic style common to the period, when timber was often delivered ready-cut from the saw-mill. The principal material is softwood. There is little use of pegging or subsidiary ironwork, and no assembly marks, suggesting an industrial, kit-form building which could be erected without further modification. The adjoining open-fronted cart-shed is constructed in similar style, and appears to be broadly contemporary, or constructed a little after. A rear lean-to is of modern date, and built of ephemeral materials.
