Abstract: |
This document presents the results of the archaeological monitoring undertaken at Byers Garth, Sherburn, Co. Durham (NZ 317 409). The monitoring work was undertaken on behalf of Theakston Estates during redevelopment works to the barn. The watching brief included the monitoring of the removal of a concrete floor surface, laid down during earlier renovations in 2000, and the monitoring of the excavation of a service trench in the yard to the north of the barn. The overall aim of the watching brief was to mitigate against the loss of any buried archaeological remains. The monitoring inside of the barn was successful in identifying a number of archaeological features and deposits relating to previous phases of building at the barn. The earliest archaeological features encountered were two construction cuts for the north and south walls of the barn. Other archaeological features included a brick wall foundation running parallel to the 19th century interior wall thought to form part of an interior corridor, an early 20th century concrete surface, two late 19th century postholes, a cobbled surface of indeterminate date (probably also 19th century) and a flagged stone surface bordered by a skin of 19th century bricks that formed part of a floor surface. No archaeological features were observed relating to the original 15th century medieval barn; all features were related to later phases of building at the barn. No archaeological features were encountered in the yard to the north of the barn during the monitoring of the excavation of the service trench. |
