Summary. Archaeological monitoring was carried out at Tilty Hill Barn, Cherry Street, Duton Hill during a single-storey side extension associated groundworks. Remains associated with the historic farmstead which previously stood at this site, a concrete yard surface and two bricks dating to the post-medieval or modern periods, were uncovered. Sherds of pottery with features characteristic of jars used to store oil used in the wool industry during the 18th and early 19th centuries were recovered, indicating that the farm may have been involved in these activities during this period.
