Abstract: |
An archaeological building survey was required in order to inform a planning application to convert the building to residential use.The buildings were found to be a small stone built combination barn and cottage which were attached to the adjoining house to form a laithe house type farmstead which was typical of this moorland region. Whilst laithe-houses could date from 1650 to 1880 the peak of development was between 1780 and 1820 (Brunskill 1987, 110) and this farmstead fits well within this period as demonstrated by the watershot stonework and the cartographic evidence. Both the barn and the adjoining cottage contained a number of attractive hand-cut roof timbers which appear to be largely in situ although it appears that the barn roof has been raised at some point. |
