Introduction
This photographic building survey report has been prepared by Mr Adam Phillips, A.P.A.C. Ltd, in response to a
proposed programme of works for: Re: Conversion Of Redundant Stone Barn To Agricultural Workers Dwelling:
Barn at Ty Mawr Farm, Lighthouse Road, Newport. Pl.App.No.: 15/10275.
Glamorgan Gwent Archaeological Trust (GGAT), advisors to Newport City Council, (NCC) planning stated that –
‘The barns are good examples of 19th century agricultural architecture. The proposed work will alter the appearance
and the internal layout of the structures’, - NEW1333/JB
The current barn is also situated within the Wentloog level, part of the Gwent Levels Registered Historic Landscape
(HLW (GT)2), specifically, part of the Eastern St Brides, Character Area (015). GGAT, therefore, advised NCC
planning that the proposed work will require archaeological mitigation in the form of two conditions: a photographic
building recording, Condition 8 -.
Development shall not begin until an appropriate photographic survey of the existing
buildings on the site has been carried out in accordance with details to be submitted to,
and approved by, the Local Planning Authority. The resulting photographs shall be
deposited with the County Sites and Monuments Record, operated by the Glamorgan-
Gwent Archaeological Trust (Heathfield House, Heathfield Swansea SA1 6EL. Tel:
01792 655208)
Reason. To identify and record any features of archaeological interest discovered during
the works.
And a watching brief, Condition 9
The developer shall ensure that a suitably qualified archaeologist is present during the
undertaking of any ground disturbing works in the development area, so that an
archaeological watching brief can be conducted. The archaeological watching brief
shall be undertaken to the standards of the Institute for Archaeologists. The Local
Planning Authority shall be informed, in writing, at least two weeks prior to the
commencement of the development of the name of the said archaeologist and no work
shall begin until the Local Planning Authority has confirmed, in writing, that the
proposed archaeologist is suitable. A copy of the watching brief report shall be submitted
to the Local Planning Authority within two months of the fieldwork being completed by
the archaeologist.
Reason: To identify and record any features of archaeological interest discovered during
the works, in order to mitigate the impact of the works on the archaeological resource.
NCC Decision No: 15/1275
A.P.A.C. Ltd, was contacted to perform the photographic building recording survey on the structures prior to the
commencement of works, and to conduct the subsequent watching brief during all ground disturbance as detailed in
the conditions noted above. In accordance with Chartered Institute of Archaeologists (CIFA) Guidance, A.P.A.C.
LTD drew up a Written Scheme of Investigation, for the proposed works, WSI:BSWB/TMF/20. The written scheme
of investigation was approved by “Newport City Council” as ‘fit for purpose’ allowing the survey work to proceed.
This report documents the Photographic building recording Survey prior to the proposed alterations. BS/TMF/20.
The Watching Brief report will follow during commencement of the groundworks. WB/TMF/20.

Site location
The location of the site can be gained from the B4237, south of Newport city. At the Tredegar Park roundabout, take
the exit onto the B4239, then the first exit at the next roundabout, and continuing along the B4239, Lighthouse Rd,
south, for approximately 2 miles. The site will be on the left at Ty Mawr Farm, Lighthouse Road, Newport, NP10
8SF, NGR: 330226 182728 (fig 01)
Brief archaeological and historical background
As mentioned above, the GGAT statement; NEW1333/JB, states that the site lies within the Historic Landscape
Characterisation of the Gwent levels, (HLW (GT)2), specifically that of Eastern St Brides Gwent levels, (15).
The Landscape is characterised as having:
‘formed over a long period of time. The higher coastal areas were probably recolonized
in the late eleventh and twelfth centuries. Lower-lying areas inland were subsequently
enclosed and drained, probably in the thirteenth/fourteenth centuries’ ,
http://www.ggat.org.uk/cadw/historic_landscape/Gwent
A reasonable presumption would be that at such a location, there is a potential for earlier prehistoric to Roman
settlement evidence, which may have continued to the known medieval occupation of the area.
A historic asset map: fig 02, was produced with a 500m search radius centred on the given NGR: 330226 182728.
The search concluded that, other than the above-mentioned Historic Landscape area, no other points of archaeological
merit are recorded within the vicinity.
Map progressions where also researched in a hope to glean further insight into the historical development of the
buildings:
On the 1842 Tithe map; fig 03a, the Ty Mawr Homestead, (at this point the Great house Homestead) is plainly visible
just to the north of the site; incidentally, the barn structures are not. At this point in time, the land: now occupied by
the current barns, held the apportionment “210” and is noted as a pasture and orchard owned and occupied by a
Burfield Margret. Also of note the Homestead and majority of surrounding land is also owned or occupied, (or both)
by the same Burfield Margaret.
The 1887 Ordnance Survey map, fig 03b, is the first instance of the barns being recorded. The western-most building
is built in a T-shape, with a further building to the north, abutting the north eastern corner of the western structure.
The cartographic evidence between the first two maps would firmly suggest the barn’s construction falls somewhere
between 1842 and 1875, (When the second map was surveyed).
By the 1902 map, a building had been constructed to the south east, though it did little to impact the earlier barns. A
change to the western barn is also visible with the removal of the porch on its eastern elevation; however, this is back
by the 1922 map, fig03d, NB. it is plausible it was an error in drawing on the earlier 1902 map.
There are little changes from the point forward and it is not until very late in the 20th Century (at least) when the
meatal sheds to the east and south were added.
Aims and Objectives
The aim of the photographic building recording survey is to preserve, by photographic and written record, the
structure, prior to the commencement of the proposed works, and in doing so provide a facility for understanding the
structures historic development. The record produced can then be used as a permanent archive, detailing the standing
structure as it once was.
6
Methodology
The building recording survey followed the methodology defined in 5.1, Understanding Historic Buildings; A Guide
to Good Recording Practice (English Heritage 2016). The methodology employed was also guided by the Standard
and Guidance for the Archaeological Investigation and Recording of Standing Buildings or Structures (CIFA 2014,).
Photographs were taken using a tripod mounted, digital camera: Cannon EOS 6D Mark II. These were backed up with
hi- resolution smart phone cameras.
Images were recorded in both high-resolution Jpeg & RAW formats.
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 property’s 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 list with contact sheets in appendix I.
This report comprises a “brief” written element as defined in 4.5.1 Understanding Historic Buildings; A Guide to
Good Recording Practice (English Heritage 2016).
Lockdown restrictions due to Corona Virus restricted access to sources such as libraries, and records offices; therefore,
the work utilised online sources, agents’ supplied detail and APAC Ltd archives.
Data Presentation
A scaled, annotated block plan was adapted from plans devised by ‘Hoole & Walmsley architects’ for use in this
report. This was then used to produce a document showing the location of where the photographs were taken, fig 04.
(see plates- PLXX).
The survey consists of photographic evidence of the current buildings, and a brief documentary report, to highlight
the historical fabric of the structures.
The survey was undertaken on Friday 4th of September, in favourable conditions.
Report
The barn configuration is three adjoined buildings around a central courtyard; left open to the south for access. Fig
04.A forth enclosing building to the east is a large metal shed of a late 20th century date, PL01 and not part of the
survey.
The main building presents as a two-storey, former threshing barn adapted to a T-shape configuration with a porch to
the east. The barn is built of random coursed stone, with quoined corners, and centrally placed timber threshing
openings. The western elevation, (PL02), retains its threshing doors, which are open almost to the eaves at a low
masonry, segmental arch with keystone. It also features a timber framed, timber Dutch door addition at its northern
corner, PL02; set under a poorly fitted flat arch off brick springers. By contrast the eastern elevation has a porch
extension, PL03, butt jointed, PL04, to the main barn with a lowered doorway under a segmental timber arch, PL03.
Structural infill in brick above the former door and up to the eaves is visible internally, PL05, suggesting the eastern
elevation extension was likely added at a later date; possibly denoting a change of farming practice from crop to
livestock.
The building also features two low level splayed slit vents on either elevation; PL02, though partially obscured from
view on the eastern elevation by a large metal silo, PL03. The main barn also features a ground level splayed slit vent
and owl hole in its northern gable, PL06, whereas, the lower level of the southern gable is partially obscured by the
southern single storey barn addition (2); PL07, The upper level features a later addition decorative timber window and
7
a owl hole under the roof apex, PL08. Internally the building was inaccessible due its current use to house livestock;
however, photographs were taken where possible from the entrances. Internally the building is limestone whitewashed
coursed rubble; PL09, with the roof consisting of machine-cut timber trusses, purlins, and rafters under modern slate
tile, PL10.
The single storey barn to the north, (1) is built against the north eastern corner of the main two storey threshing barn,
PL11 and is constructed of random coursed stone, under a slate roof. The western gable features two timber framed,
timber doors with wire cut brick surrounds; the southernmost doorway topped with a two coursed segmental brick
lintel, PL12 and the northernmost with a timber lintel. The southernmost entrance is a possible later addition as it has
no southern pillar; its frame attached directly to the northern gable of the main barn. There is evidence remaining of
an earlier doorway between the current ones, where a vertical edge supporting a single course brick arch remains.
The northern elevation of the barn is obscured by vegetation, and the southern elevation and eastern gable walls are
rendered with a large accessway in the eastern side of the southern elevation for cows to move freely, PL01. Internally
access was blocked due to livestock: however, photographs were taken from the western gable doorway to show the
machine cut timber trusses, rafters, and purlins, PL13.
The single storey barn to the south, (2) is a random coursed stone construct, with quoined corner stones and some wire
cut brick replacements, PL14. The single storey barn is built against the southern gable of the main threshing barn,
PL07 and features a single brick surround entrance way in the eastern elevation, PL15.
The southern gable has been left open for access for livestock and is currently lined with a metal gate at its lower
level; the apex of the roof partially extended downwards in timber, PL16. There is a large timber post to the west of
the entrance, from ground to roof, framing a timber manger which extends the full length of the western elevation,
with a partial void/passageway between the elevation and manager, PL17. The roof is constructed of machine cut
timber trusses, purlins, and rafters, under slate, PL18.
