Abstract: |
A level 2-3 Historic Building Recording was undertaken at Axe Head Barn as an archaeological condition attached to Planning Consent for redevelopment of the building. The building is a late 18th or early 19th century combination barn, built of gritstone. The barn is functionally divided into two parts, a threshing barn in the southern two bays and a cow house and hayloft in the northern three bays. The fabric of the barn remains relatively unaltered and, although much of the original interior and most of the fixtures and fittings have been lost, enough evidence remains to demonstrate its former use. The barn retains most of its original roof structure and some of its hayloft floor. A flagstone threshing floor and opposing doors give clear evidence that the southern part was a threshing barn. Redundant mortises in the remaining hayloft floor, as well as surviving stall dividers and in situ muck holes and forking holes provide evidence that the cow house accommodated up to twelve cows, whilst similar evidence in the contemporary rear lean-to demonstrates that it was probably a calf house with space for up to four calves. |
