Introduction
This report results from a planning application to the convert two existing agricultural barns into two residential units
as detailed in Monmouthshire County Council (MCC) Planning Application 2014/01196.
It has been noted that proposed alteration and renovation work will involve changes to the standing fabric of the
existing buildings, all of which may impact on any archaeological resources present.
Glamorgan Gwent Archaeological trust, (GGAT) advisors to the council in relevant planning matters identified a
possible archaeological issue with the proposed work and suggested that the council impose the following conditions
to any approval:
No site works shall be undertaken until the implementation of an appropriate programme of

building recording and analysis has been agreed with the local planning authority, to be
carried out by a specialist acceptable to the local planning authority and in accordance with
an agreed written brief and specification.
Reason: As the building is of significance the specified records are necessary to mitigate the
impact of the proposed development.
MON2138/JB
APAC Ltd, was contracted to produce a Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI) for a programme of archaeological
work.
This was compiled, (WSI:BS/LP/15), based on information provided by the client and MCC Planning portal, Planning
Application 2014/01196.
The WSI was approved as “fit for purpose” and the subsequent building survey took place on 09th October 2015.
This document, prepared by Mr A O Phillips, and checked by Dr N Phillips, APAC Ltd, is the report of the building
survey.
Location of the Site
The location of the site is to the north east of the town of Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, and can be gained from the
A465, Abergavenny to Hereford Rd.
When travelling south along the A465, a left turn just before Abergavenny’s Hardwick roundabout leads to a junction
with the B4521, and a ‘T’ junction opposite Maindiff Court Hospital.
Turn left and then second right passing Wernddu Golf Club and continue to a second left which is Elms road and leads
to Elms Farm, fig 01.
The site of the barns is on private land belonging to Elms Farm, some 400m south east at NGR 334299 214924.
Geology & Topography
The solid geology of the site falls within the St Maugham’s Formation Sandstone with a superficial deposits of
Devensian Till; http://www.bgs.ac.uk/geoindex/
The property lies at the bottom of a field that slopes east towards the Mynachdy Brook, which itself drains southwards.
The surrounding fields are pasture and the current buildings are in partial use for storage and cattle shelter.

Brief archaeological and historical background
The Elms Farmhouse is Grade II listed: Cadw 2004, and can be found on the 1st series Ordinance Survey map of 1832.
(MON2138/JB), fig 02.
The summary listing for the farm states: ‘A 16th/17th century stone built house with probable 19th century additions…
Grade II listed as despite its alterations it retains its traditional regional character.’ (HER Core 5312).
The barn complex for the proposed development is associated with the Elms Farmhouse and the 1832 map shows a
structure in position at that time, although without any detail, fig 02.
The later Ordnance Survey map of 1882 does however reveal some detail; clearly recording the location of barns A
and B and the cow shed, fig 03.
The following 1889, 1916 and 1944 Ordnance Survey maps were consulted but no change to the configuration of
building was noted, (1944 map is included in fig 03).
As part of the remit for the building survey, the Historic Environment Record (HER) was consulted with a search
parameter of 500m around the site.
No entries were recorded other than that of the Elms Farmhouse, noted above.
Aims and Objectives
The aim of the level II survey was to preserve by record the structure of the building, prior to conversion and in so
doing, provide a facility for understanding the building’s historic development.
The record produced can then be used to guide the determination of the planning condition as to the final design of
refurbishment.
Methodology
A brief search was made into the background history of the location and property using various online sources as well
as Gwent Records Office, GGAT (HER) and the RCAHMW.
The building survey followed the methodology defined in 5.2, Understanding Historic Buildings: a guide to good
recording practise (English heritage 2006). The methodology employed was also guided by the: Standards and
Guidance for the Archaeological Investigation and Recording of Standing Buildings or Structures (IFA 1996, revised
edition 2013).
All photographs were taken using a Sony DSC F828 Digital camera mounted on a tripod, with images recorded in
RAW & Jpeg format.
The photographic record of the site includes general views of the exterior, the overall appearance of principle structure
and circulation areas, external and internal detail relevant to the properties design and development.
All photographs include a scale rod where possible or practical.
Photographs illustrative of the survey are produced as annotated “photo cards” in the report.
All photographs from the survey are included as a contact sheet in appendix I.
Measurements were made during the survey using both a hand steel tape and a Lecia Disto 510, the resulting
measurements used to produce the plan and elevation drawings figs 03 and 04.
This report also comprises a written element as defined in 4.5, Understanding Historic Buildings, A Guide to Good
Recording Practise (English Heritage 2006).

Data Presentation
Data referred to within the text is included in the Figures (fig##), Photo cards. (PH##).
Room names used in the text are derived from the annotated plans supplied by the client’s architect which
unfortunately had ne scale and lacked some of the features needed for recording.
Annotated plans are given in figs 03 & 04.
General external description of buildings.
The property presents as four separate buildings, arranged in an angular ‘U’ shape around a central yard which opens
to the west.
The buildings consist of a threshing barn A, PL01, a cow house with loft, B, PL02, a long open cow shelter, Shed,
PL03 and the relatively recent addition of a lean to, at the south east corner, PL04.
With the exception of the lean to, all the buildings are of masonry construction alternating between rough coursed
and coursed, local sandstone.
The norttern two thirds of the barn A, are covered with a pan tile roof, the majority of the cow shelter roof is of slate
whereas all the rest are covered with corrugated tin sheeting, PL01.
External description barn A
Barn A, measures c 22.48m x 10.74m, aligned roughly north south and is almost symmetrical on both axis with the
exceptions of only one slit window in the south west wall whereas all the others have two, PL01, PL05 & PL03 and
the two gable ends have different shaped upper windows. PL03 & PL06.
Both sets of threshing doors have been repaired with corrugated tin sheet cladding.
The eastern side of the barn opens out on to the field whereas the western side; within the yard, is raised and accessible
by a concrete approach ramp, PL01.
External description barn B
Barn B measures c 15.15m x 10.26m, aligned east/west and originally detached from the threshing barn as confirmed
in the map progressions fig 02.
The barn was originally built as one and a half storey cow house with a hay loft supported on 7 or 8 joists now
replaced by 4.
Access to the loft hasn’t left any traces and the only light and ventilation was through the ‘pitching hole’: W3, PL02.
At the time of the survey, access to the barn is provided by three doors D1, D2 & D3 although a wall scar shows a
blocked door directly beneath window W3, PL02.
This door, before it was blocked would have provided a through access to door D3, PL07.
The door to the west gable end may be an addition judging by the difference of construction and repairs to the
surrounding wall and corner, PL08.
The comparison in construction of the two western corners is worth noting in this respect, PL08 & PL09.
For ventilation the southern elevation has to small slit windows W1 & W2, PL02 whilst the northern elevation has
only one W5, PL07.
6
There is a slab lined hole, W6, in the loft area, to the left in PL07; probably a joist hole however, it is the only joist
hole that pierces through the wall.
One last point of interest is one of two niches in the surviving exposed corner of the eastern gable, PL10.
The corner has had some extensive repairs at this point and the lower niche, which is slab lined, wouldn’t be out of
place as an internal cold shelf.
Internal description barn A
Internally the barn has three distinct areas:
the northern end, c 74.25m² of compacted earth level with the threshing floor, PL11.
the southern end, c 74 m² at a depth of c 900mm below the level of the threshing floor, PL12.
the threshing floor, c 53.48 m², covered with flagstones and revetted on the south side, PL13.
The northern end has two splayed slit vents in both the west and east elevations, W8 & W9 & W13 & W14 whilst
the gable end has three, W15, W16 and W17 above, PL11.
W17 is offset from the centre and there is a triangular ‘owl hole’ at the apex, PL04.
The southern end has only one slit vent W7 to the west, two lower slit vents W11 & W12 to the east, whilst the gable
end has three W18 & W19 and a large square upper window, W10, PL12.
The roof; partial pan tile partial corrugated sheet, is supported from two principle tie beam joists with Queen posts
which spring from the wall plates at the corner of the threshing door openings, PL14.
The roof timber would appear to be sawn timber with wooden dowel fixings; possibly a replacement although the
southern principle joist has a relatively recent support brace fitted, PL14.
Internal description barn B
Barn B, features a feeder along the eastern gable end which obscures any detail of the wall, PL15.
All of the other walls have various patches of lime wash, the floor is possibly earthen but at the time of the survey,
covered in animal bedding.
Access to the upper floor was not available with the ceiling, obscuring the loft and roof.
The southern wall has a door to the east D1 and a blocked-up central door, the scar for which signifies an opening of
identical proportion and placement to that of a door in the opposite north wall, see below, PL16.
The wall also has two small slit vents with internal splays W1 & W2 and a blocked shelf between D1 and the blocked
door, PL16.
The slit vent W1 is only visible externally, PL02, due to the feeder on the east gable, see above.
The west gable has a central blocked-in window W4 and a single door D2, PL17.
Plate PL17 also shows a central, makeshift loft support.
The northern wall has the single central door D3, which has had some repair including a replacement wooden lintel.
The northern wall also has a single low slit window W5 with a potential vent or joist hole in the top eastern end,
PL18.
Plate 18 also clearly illustrates the butt joint construction between the northern elevation and the western gable end
and some of the original loft joist holes.
7
There were originally 7 pairs of holes in the north and south walls for the original loft beams, three of which
are visible in PL17, two more in PL16.
Currently the loft is supported on replacements beams some of which are round posts some sawn timber PL16.
The western-most beam is considerably larger than the original as can be seen in PL18 where the joist hole has been
lowered to accommodate the thicker beam.
Other structures
The cow shelter (shed) is not included in the condition, however as it is recorded in existence as early as barns A &
B, fig02, it would be remiss not to mention it.
Constructed of two walls, 4 pillar supports and a butt joint to barn A; the shed carries a ridged roof sheltering an area
measuring c 20.54m x 7.35m, PL19.
It appears to have had a doorway at its interface with barn A, PL03; now bricked in and the western gable is in danger
of collapse PL20.
The fourth building is a recent build of breeze blocks and forms a lean-to shelter adjoining barns A & B.
Phasing.
It is not possible to date any of the buildings with any degree of accuracy from the structures themselves but the
mapping reveals that barns A & B had been constructed by the 1832, at the current location, fig 02.
Typologically, barn A is a typical 17th/19th century threshing barn; it now has a replacement roof structure and the
southern floor has been modified for a reason that is not clear.
Barn B is a typical cow house, early 18th century due to the low nature and lack of ventilation; ‘light and ventilation
were considered detrimental’ before the 19th century, (Brunskill, p162, 2000).
The cow shelter although also shown on the 1832 map, postdates barn A as its roof blocks the slit vents W8 and W9
of the latter.
