Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Comparelli Architecture, on behalf the client, to carry out historic building recording of boundary walls proposed for demolition at Cross Cottage in Barford St Martin, Wiltshire. Cross Cottage is located on Duck Street, Barford St Martin, Wiltshire, situated on the south-west corner of the junction between Duck Lane and West Street (B3089). The cottage is a Grade II listed building (NHLE no. 1146189) located within the Barford St Martin conservation area. Planning permission (ref: PL/2021/09605) and listed building consent (ref: PL/2021/09933) were conditionally granted by Wiltshire Council for the reconstruction of the historic former 1½ storey annex to the north of the Grade II listed Cross Cottage. The redevelopment works involved the demolition and reuse of the stone within the boundary walls fronting onto West Street and Duck Street. The boundary walls were largely formed of greensand rubble laid in irregular courses with occasional limestone and reused red brick visible. The north elevation showed evidence of a number of phases of development and repair and had been extended at the west end by the addition of a modern angled section of limestone rubble. During demolition the older phases of wall were found to have a loose rubble core with no evidence of tie-blocks connecting one side to the other. Part of the boundary wall on the inner (garden) side had been reinforced by construction of a concrete blockwork skin. A blocked entrance, irregularities in height as well as a short return at the south corner of the boundary wall support the evidence that the walls form part of the former north range structure, which is shown in this location on historic photographs and mapping and which existed until the early 20th century. The only evidence of reused stone found during demolition was a large moulded stone with an L-shaped profile which is thought to be a reused window sill or door jamb.
