Building recording carried out by Cotswold Archaeology in June 2006 concluded that the barn was probably built in the late C18 or early C19, reusing timbers and bricks from a large high-status Tudor building, possibly Lower Winchendon House. See report for detail (B7).
Further detailed building recording by Oxford Archaeology in June 2009 suggests barn built about 1800. See report for detail (B9).
