Introduction

Stag House Farm, Darlington, County Durham. Archaeological Building Recording (OASIS ID: archaeol3-320798)

Photographic and drawn survey of the buildings of small dairy farm, probably founded in 1763.

The project

This report presents the results of an archaeological recording project conducted in advance of proposed works at Stag House Farm, Darlington. Photographic and drawn survey of the house and adjoining farm buildings has been carried out.

The works were commissioned by West Park Ltd and conducted by Archaeological Services Durham University.

Map evidence shows that that Stag House has always been an isolated single farmstead.In the 1890s it covered an area of a little over 12ha of land on the south westside of Newton Lane; it was a dairy farm.

Conclusions

1763 sundial is likely to give the date of construction of the first house, a threebay twostorey structure with a kitchen outshut and service additions on its northeast gable.The house was extended in the first part of the 19th century. The original tone barn to the north was later used as a cow house; other buildings were added after the middle of the 19th century. The stone building was largely demolished in recent times.

The buildings have been drawn and photographed. The only historically significant features are the sundial and the door fittings in the outshut.
