Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	In October 2014 AS carried out historic building recording alongside archaeological investigation at a barn adjacent to The Brown bear Public House, The Street, Braughing, Hertfordshire. The work was commissioned as part of a planning condition related to the conversion and extension of the barn. The recording was carried out after much of the planned works had been carried out. The earliest element of the building comprises the western bay of a longer range which once extended east-west and is shown on historic maps. From the fragmentary evidence surviving, a tentative date in the 17th century may be suggested. The principal phase of work was carried out in the 18th century. This appears to include the rebuilding of the bay panels of the original range with studwork, and construction of the northern unit which consists of a similar system of studwork. Mid-20th century remodelling saw rebuilding on the east side and the addition of a pent-roofed range, probably a garage. More recently, the northern unit has been used as toilets serving the public house, from which the two small windows survive at the north end. The evidence recorded during trial pit investigation is consistent with late 19th century activity. The chalk surface (l1004 Test Pit 1) may relate to an earlier building, while finds of glass bottles such as a Codd's bottle typical of the 1880s and later probably represents a dumping event or distribution of waste material for levelling.
