Archaeological building recording was undertaken in July 2011, in advance of the proposed conversion of a complex of former agricultural buildings at Martins Farm, Crowland. The group comprises a two-storey, brick-built barn of early 19th century date, with a number of later additions and alterations. The buildings represents the last surviving element of a once much larger complex, as seen on earlier maps. Opposite this range, but not included in the survey, are more brick-built, single-storey barns with an enclosed yard. The two storey barn is the earliest building on this site and probably dates to the second quarter of the 19th century. It was built in red brick and originally featured a slate roof, later replaced by corrugated asbestos. It likely functioned as a store. Graffiti, found on a lintel on the original first floor doorway, possibly dates the structure to 1827, though this is unsubstantiated. There is a small section of brick floor which is original; the rest has been replaced/covered with concrete. Two dividing walls belong to a later phase. The first floor was accessed by timber stairs on the west side. These stairs were later removed, most likely during the second phase of this building when a brick lean-to was constructed. The south range represents the third phase of building on the site, and comprises a single storey extension, built onto the main barn. This building is again of red brick with a slate roof, and consists of two rooms. There are simple, agricultural, two-part doors with standard 19th century hinges. The windows are arched with ventilation slats, and there are surviving brick floors. The rooms contain evidence for mangers and hayracks; whilst these have been removed, a secondary manger does survive. The final phase of development appears to have been the addition of an open sided cart hovel with an earth floor, onto the east side of the main barn. {1}{2}
