Abstract:		 A programme of archaeological investigation has been carried out to further inform a proposal to extend and remodel Newton Cottage, High Callerton. A photographic and measured recording was undertaken in June 2019 prior to the scheme of internal alterations and groundworks proposed. It is concluded that this picturesque house, is made up of several elements of different dates. The evidence for its structural history, is largely in the front elevation, its changes in fabric and line of quoins. Most of its windows are of mid-20th century date. Few old features survive, with little to provide dating evidence. The earliest structure, the former barn, has large and irregular quoins possibly of c.1700. It contains evidence of a likely first-floor fireplace indicating a phase of domestic use. The added upper floor to the eastern section may be Victorian and goes with the ground-floor beamed ceiling and simple stair inside. The interiors have been heavily modernised. The lack of significant pre-19th century features and the level of proposed impact upon them means that no specific mitigation measures are recommended with respect to the proposed remodelling. However, care must to be taken to avoid significant impact upon existing stonework, particularly the north and south facades and internal walls of the current C18th garage, the east internal wall of which, in particular, retains interesting features. Regarding external groundworks, there are no historic records to suggest the likelihood of significant sub-surface remains surviving. Several other interventions in the hamlet, have produced little evidence for pre-modern settlement, suggesting it may not have been intensively occupied until the 18th or early-19th centuries. Therefore, no specific mitigation measures are suggested with respect to groundworks, but depending on the scale of the proposed works the assistant county archaeologist may consider that a watching brief is warranted.
