Site Event/Activity record ESF20152 - Gulling Green Barn, Brockley

An archaeological monitoring was carried out in September 2009 during ground-works at Gulling Green Barn, Brockley, a moated site containing a set of 18th century barns being converted to a residential property. Despite truncation of the moat platform a monitored soil strip of a small area identified evidence of both medieval and post-medieval activity. A small medieval finds assemblage of 12th-14th century pottery was collected indicating early occupation on the site while several wall foundations were observed and are thought to relate to a building extant in the 19th century. There is a high probability therefore that the remainder of the moat platform contains archaeological deposits relating to the past occupation and development of the site. Additional monitoring of the removal of the floor within one of the 18th century barns identified two small areas of brickwork flooring, possibly surviving from a pre-existing structure
