Abstract:		 Archenfield Archaeology conducted a programme of building recording and archaeological monitoring at Pound Farm prior to the restoration of the house and farm buildings. The work was carried out, in various stages, during the spring, summer, and autumn of 2003. The house at Pound Farm is a grade II* listed timber-framed building (Herefordshire SMR number 6188) with what the Royal Commission on Historic Monuments described as the remains of five 14th or 15th century cruck trusses (RCHM, 1931). The house was completely re-faced in the 19th century (DOE, 1987). Dendrochronology dating indicates that the timbers used in the construction of the building were felled between 1451 and 1461 AD (Nayling, 2002). The survey comprised of structural recording and archaeological monitoring of all building activities and ground work disturbance at Pound Farm. The house comprises the remains of a four bay hall building of which four of the five original crucks survive in situ. A bay added in a later phase of the history to the house, at the southern end, now makes this a five bay house. At the time of the survey one of the original cruck frames, and most of the western stone elevation, had collapsed, bringing down with it parts of the first floor and the middle section of the stairs. The whole of the building at the north end had collapsed. The archaeological monitoring of ground works revealed no in-situ archaeological features. However, the area around the farm is likely to preserve possible archaeological features associated with the early occupation of the house, and associated land use.
