An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology during groundworks associated with the conversion of an existing barn into a granny annex at Barden Furnace Barn, Kent. No features or deposits of archaeological interest were observed during groundworks, and no artefactual material pre-dating the modern period was recovered. All features and finds related to the construction and period of use of the barn structure. (3)
