The West Berkshire Historic Environment Record (HER) is the primary index of the physical remains of past human activity in the unitary authority of West Berkshire Council. Limited elements of the West Berkshire HER are available online via the Heritage Gateway, therefore it is not suitable for use in desk-based studies associated with development, planning and land-use changes, and does not meet the requirements of paragraph 194 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2021: 56). Please read the important guidance on the use of the West Berkshire HER data. For these purposes and all other commercial enquiries, please contact the Archaeology team and complete our online HER enquiry form.

Full Description

An small rectangular building detached cottage is marked on the Epoch 2 OS Map of 1899 <1>. This may have been for agricultural use associated with the site later named as Limberlost, or may have been a dwelling, although no paths to it are marked.

The layout of the building appears to have remained unchanged until the Epoch 5 OS map of 1970 <2>, by which time it had either been extended to the west or altered. A planning application in 1988 to demolish the existing dwelling of Limberlost Farm Cottage was approved <3>. This was a bungalow described as dilapidated.
