Abstract: |
In March 2017 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out a building recording at the barns at Dane End House, Conduit Lane, Great Hormead, Buntingford, Hertfordshire (NGR TL 40520 30120). The recording was undertaken in advance of the proposed extension of the existing outbuildings and infill extensions between the barn and garage. It was required as part of a planning condition in advance of the proposed works (East Herts CC Planning Ref. 3/15/119/LBC) which requires a programme of archaeological work. Technical analysis has revealed the main barn to be of 18th or 19th century date, largely rebuilt using modern techniques in a revival of traditional carpentry skills common in the 20th century. A few timbers present evidence of re-use from a medieval structure. Extensions to the north and north-west present no visible historic fabric apart from some historic brick close to the road but are visible on cartographic sources dating to the early 19th century suggesting these too have been comprehensively rebuilt, or replaced. The second barn was not part of the assessment and was only visible from within the outbuildings to the east within which exposed timber-framing suggested an early 18th century date. The outbuildings are clearly a later addition, and are probably 19th century in date, though were partially rebuilt using modern techniques. |
