NJ 8846 2812 A building recording exercise was carried out in March 2003 of the E gable of the Old Farmhouse, Pitmedden Garden, during repointing works.

The survey showed that the building had undergone several phases of construction, with the gable being raised to incorporate a second storey. The chimney breast appears to have undergone repairs, and a lean-to building at the NE corner had been added, possibly at the same time as the demolition of a wall linking this building to the garden cottage.

A small test pit was excavated at the W corner of the adjoining lean-to, in order to investigate drainage problems. This recovered some glass of 18th-century date.
