Abstract: |
As the result of an archaeological condition on the planning permission for the redevelopment of barns at Crown Cottage, Kelshall, Herts., the Heritage Network was commissioned by the owners to provide a complete record of the existing buildings prior to the start of works, and to monitor the groundworks for the replacement structure. Cartographic evidence appears to suggest that all the barns were erected between 1766 and 1795 and that the narrow southern link between the barns and the house was built between 1889 and 1923. The buildings would appear to be have been built at the same time using reclaimed materials, of different periods and from different structures. They have also been subject to various phases of repair and refurbishment. Monitoring of the groundworks associated with the new Link Range revealed a number of deposits and features, including evidence for the terracing and backfilling of the natural slope to the west of the barns; a Victorian well; and a series of post or stake holes which may relate to a structure pre-dating the present barns. |
