Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	The Archaeological Standard Building Recording (ASBR) was undertaken by Border Archaeology on 14th May 2021 in accordance with a Written Scheme of Investigation submitted to and approved by North Yorks Moors National Park Authority on 7th July 2021. The specific recording methodology is based on a Historic England/RCHME Level 2 record, as detailed in Understanding Historic Buildings – A guide to good recording practice (Lane 2016), which sets out guidance on the recording of historic buildings for the purposes of historical understanding and is a revised and expanded version of Recording Historic Buildings: A Descriptive Specification (RCHME 1996).Records were compiled in accordance with BA's Archaeological Field Recording Manual (2017) and the Historic England conventions detailed in Understanding Historic Buildings – A guide to good recording practice (Lane 2016). BA adheres to the CIfA Code of conduct (2020a). General external and internal views were recorded for contextual purposes with relevant architectural detailing and individual features shown as separate items and contextually as part of the surrounding elevation. Each photograph (both external and internal) included an appropriate scale and all photographic images were indexed and cross-referenced to a written photographic register, which included details of subject and direction of view. Lodge Hill Farm comprises a stone-built farmhouse (Building No. 1) incorporating a single-storey outhouse and pigsty at its W gable end with and a small walled garden to the S. To the SW of the farmhouse, a derelict stone-built barn (Building No. 2) and derelict stone-built bank barn (Building No.3) form an L-shaped plan and a combination stone-built barn (Building No.4) incorporating stables, loose box and cart shed is situated to the E of the farmhouse. The buildings open onto a grass-covered courtyard with a probable underlying metalled surface and a culverted stream running through. The plot is 2.6 acres and is bounded by a stone perimeter wall. The buildings are not listed but are considered by the North York Moors National Park Authority to be of sufficient local interest to be classified as a non-designated heritage asset. The origins of the farmstead are unclear but the existing buildings appear to be of 18th/19th century date and the exterior of the farmhouse and working buildings exhibit little evidence of alteration or remodelling beyond replacement of roofing materials and a replacement lintel above a cart entrance in Building No.4. Based on the evidence of historic Ordnance Survey maps, it appears that the layout of Lodge Farm had largely been established by the late 19th/early 20th century. The farmhouse (Building No. 1) is built on a double-pile plan with central passage and later ancillary buildings extending from its W gable end to form a longhouse plan. The ground-floor entrance opens onto a central hallway with access to five rooms and a straight staircase on the W wall up to first-floor level. The end of the hallway has been partitioned and a rear door blocked. The hallway and a storage room have York stone floors and the other rooms have either concrete flooring or floorboards. Externally, the presence of air bricks suggests the ground floor may have originally been suspended. Apart from the storage room, all rooms are plastered and have exposed ceiling beams. The storeroom has a bare stone wall and hooks set into the ceiling. The outhouse is accessed externally or through the farmhouse kitchen. The remains of a stone-built stove survive in one corner and the open roof structure shows two pairs of rough-cut timber purlins. The derelict pigsty is accessed externally and comprises two compartments opening onto enclosed yards and a coaxial rear corridor.
