Full Description
A former threshing barn, one of the last surviving outbuildings forming the working farmstead of Clandon House, dating to the mid 19th century. Once part of the east range of a Model Farming style courtyard plan farming complex, the barn now stands isolated. It is a two storey red brick construction with a pitched, gabled pantile roof. On the south elevation, black brick diapering forms the date '1843' with the letters 'J F' beneath. The single storey scar of a gabled roof can be seen in the brickwork beneath. There is a small modern porch extension at the north end of the east elevation. {1}{2}
Six test pits were excavated to inform the proposed construction of two extensions to the barn, one on each short elevation. A series of buried soils and dumped deposits were encountered. Some of these deposits contained demolition material from the former brick-built ranges depicted on historic mapping. Finds recovered included Medieval and post-Medieval pottery, brick, tile and other ceramic material. A modern pit containing the articulated skeletal remains of a foal, thought to be an intentional burial, was also recorded. {1}{2}
