Abstract:		 In January 2009 Archaeological Services and Consultancy Ltd (ASC) carried out a desk based assessment and historic building recording of Folders Farm Barn, Folders Lane, Burgess Hill, West Sussex in order to inform proposals for the development involving buildings on the site. Folders Farm is located on the border of West and East Sussex and until 1934 lay within the parish of Ditchling. The land on which Folders Farm was built originally lay within Frekeburgh Common, which had been part of the Saxon Royal Estate belonging to King Alfred the Great in the 9th century. Parts of the common were given over to farming from the 13th century, and Folders Farm was part of such a grant. It was associated with Moores and Pollards Inholmes, and its land is documented from 1593. A farmhouse was not recorded on the site before c.1800 and this was replaced by the present farmhouse between 1874 and 1897. The structural evidence suggests that the barn was built in the early 19th century. The barn is a single storey, 3-bay timber framed structure under a tiled roof with a modern extension to the north. It appears to have been purpose built for the farm, as there are no empty mortices or re-used timbers. The former large opening in the north wall is indicative of a threshing barn, with the full loads being brought in by cart via the north door and exiting by the south door, which is not so high. The size of the barn in relation to the farmhouse and other outbuildings suggest that Folders Farm was more reliant on livestock than arable farming. All the evidence suggests that the present barn is a fairly late addition to a landscape that had been little settled over the centuries. It is a pleasing example of its type and one of the last surviving buildings belonging to this historical farm.
