Abstract:		 In December 2008, Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out a programme of historic building recording at Old Park Farm, Perry Green, Hertfordshire as part of a planning condition imposed on approval for a proposed change of use. The programme of works comprised the historic building recording of the timber-framed barn and further outbuildings including three Nissen huts. The barn (Building 1) at Old Park Farm represents a single surviving remnant of an entire and no doubt interesting complex. Although the farm is not well documented prior to the early 19th century, the name itself suggests some form of post-medieval expansion onto former manorial parkland. The quality of timber is variable as would be expected from locally sourced oak and this, along with other confusing elements, makes ascribing an accurate date problematic. Characteristics consistent with a 17th century date are visible, although construction techniques typical of the 18th century or later were employed. Ultimately the barn is not a clear-cut case where a number of characteristics can provide us with a reasonable degree of certainty, but on balance may tentatively be given a late 17th century to mid-18th century range. Buildings 2, 3 and 4 comprise 20th century Nissen huts, which oral tradition, supported by historic map evidence, indicates were constructed in the 1960s / early 1070s. Building 5 is a simple but flimsy structure, apparently fairly modern, although utilising reused timbers from an earlier building and constructed in the location of a building seen on the historic maps.
