Abstract: |
In August 2016 Archaeology South-East (a division of the Centre for Applied Archaeology, UCL) carried out a programme of historic building recording (Historic England Level 3) of The Byre, Milton Street, Polegate, East Sussex. The work was commissioned by Mark Poland to satisfy a condition placed on planning consent (refs. SDNP/16/02592/FUL and SDNP/16/02954/LIS) concerning the conversion of the building to residential use. The building was constructed c. 1800 as a cattle byre and is fortunate in that it retains many fixtures and fittings relating to its original function. Fragmentary remains of an earlier structure have been incorporated at the south end of the building, which appear to date to the 17th century; these, together with a nearby dovecot provide tangible evidence of the occupation of the site prior to the 18th century. A rudimentary shelter attached to the north end of the building is of little interest, although retains fragmentary remains of an enclosure noted on historical mapping which was augmented in the early 20th century structure to form an extension for additional livestock. |
