Abstract:		 As the result of an archaeological condition on the planning permission for the redevelopment of Stamford Yard, Kneesworth Street, Royston, Herts, the Heritage Network was commissioned by the developer to undertake a programme of historic building recording and archaeological monitoring of the groundworks. Timber and brickwork analysis confirmed the early 17th century date for the construction of the barn and showed that it had undergone major restoration in the late 19th and again in the mid 20th century. The archaeological monitoring revealed evidence for some of the post-medieval structures known from the cartographic record. The archaeological and building analysis, however, suggest that the eastern end of the barn was a free-standing structure, and not an intrinsic part of the barn as suggested on the maps. Both the steep terrace to the west of the site and the evidence from a number of pits within the barn and in the yard suggest that fairly intensive quarrying and some lime processing occurred here prior to the construction of the barn.
