Abstract:		 Between May 2009 and September 2009, Archaeological Solutions Ltd carried out a programme of historic building recording and archaeological monitoring and recording at Sheering Hall, Bambers Green, Takeley, Essex. The programme comprised the recording and analysis of farm buildings, and monitoring of the ground works. Technical analysis suggests that the main barn was constructed in the 15th century, possibly at the same time as the adjoining house, but subsequent modification obscures much of its origin and grandeur. The barn was originally partitioned into a number of separate cells, with an intermediate floor at the south end. These were probably all removed when the building was modified in the 17th century, when the original wattle-and-daub walling was also replaced by weatherboarding and decorative pargeting. Fragments of the pargeting remain, though much was removed by later repair and replacement with weatherboarding and brick. The barn has suffered severe racking in the past, which has necessitated the introduction of a number of piecemeal repairs, while the original crown-post roof was removed in the 20th century, possibly following a fire. A two-bay timber-framed building was added to the south of the barn in the later 16th century. This was also modified with decorative pargeting, a substantial section of which survives within a slightly later outshut on the west side. A well preserved slatted window of contemporary date also survives on this side. The remaining buildings on the site were probably constructed at the end of the 19th century, with further additions in the 1920s, and are of moderate interest, though much modified. The carriage house is a typical and modest example of its type. The monitoring and recording of the small scale ground works revealed the brick foundation pedestals of the existing barn structures.
