Abstract: |
In July 2005 Archaeological Services and Consultancy Ltd (ASC) carried out historic building recording of Newton Barn, Lavendon Mill, Olney, Milton Keynes in response to proposals for the conversion of buildings on the site. Newton Barn is a three bayed, aisleless barn built of Blisworth Limestone under a corrugated tin roof. It stands in an elevated position immediately to the north of the River Ouse.The architectural features of the barn suggest that it was built in the early 18th century It would appear from the cartographic evidence that the mill went into decline in the late 19th century, when the structures adjacent to Newton barn were demolished. The barn was converted to animal shelters and subsequently vehicle storage in the 20th century.The lack of any surviving foundations or rubble from the earlier buildings to the east of the barn may be either due to their complete removal during demolition, or that the buildings were of a more superficial constructional form that would have left little in the archaeological record.The evidence from the watching brief, which was undertaken in 2006, suggests that there had been several episodes of ground disturbance, including terracing to the south of the property. This is likely to have destroyed any evidence for earlier human activity on the site |
