Abstract:		 Albion Archaeology carried out an historic building survey and impact assessment in support of a planning application for the conversion of a redundant farm building at Dovecote Farm. Dovecote Farm is located to the north of Astwood village centre. The buildings proposed for conversion were in the linear range on the northern side of the farmyard and comprised a 3-bay, timber-framed and open-fronted stock shed and an attached weather-boarded storage shed. The buildings were not listed but were considered to be within the curtilage of the listed early 18th-century farmhouse. The 3-bay stock shed is defined by brick piers, supporting the open southern side. The rear wall of the building consists of a low brick wall below a timber-framed, weatherboarded, upper section. The roof has a pitch of approximately 45º and is covered in pantiles. It is supported by two king post trusses, a queen post truss at its western end and by the timber-framed gable wall at the east end. A feed trough extends along the north wall of the building. The remains of wooden supports above the feed trough suggest the former location of hay racks. The shed which makes up the eastern end of the range is timber-framed with weatherboard and a corrugated iron roof. The building is set on a low brick sill. There were no associated fixtures and fittings within the building.
