Abstract: |
Archaeological building recording was undertaken of the Grade II Listed former officer's quarters, prior to development. The building, constructed in 1797, was almost entirely timber-framed and although many temporary timber-framed barracks were constructed in this period, this one was of particular interest as it was the only surviving example of six timber-framed barracks. It was constructed using a platform frame system in which each storey was an independent structural unit placed on top of the one beneath. Although several small extensions had been built adjoining it the building had not been substantially altered since its original construction and its primary timber frame almost entirely remains together with much original joinery. An archaeological watching brief was also undertaken during intrusive groundworks in areas surrounding the building, particularly the formation of service trenches. This revealed no significant archaeological features. [Au(abr)] |
