Analytical Buildings Record (Level 3) at Barn at Blackwell, Treborough, Somerset

Full building recording works were conducted by A. Allen ACIfA and Dr B. Morris MCIfA in March 2026 in overcast conditions. All recording was undertaken in line with best practice and follows the guidance outlined in: CIfA's Standard and Guidance for the Archaeological Investigation and Recording of Standing Buildings or Structures (2014) and Historic England's Understanding Historic Buildings: A Guide to Good Recording Processes (2016). The discussion of the buildings' setting follows the approaches outlined in the appropriate guidance (DoT guidance and Historic England 2015). It is clear this building has had significant alteration and extension, largely in the later 20th century, making what is left very fragmentary. An earlier footprint can be seen within remaining walls to the north-east and north-west. Earlier mapping suggests the site may have had a separate farmhouse located just to the west, boundaries of which remain within a small plantation area, though it is not clear if this structure remains. A fire is noted to the site in 1873 which may mark the beginning of the site's decline. A levelled platform opposite the building suggests the loss of earlier additional buildings, as seen to the tithe, some of which can be seen to LiDAR imagery included.
