HARRIETT is a Kennet built-barge located approximately 500 metres north-west of Kingshill Farm in Gloucestershire. The vessel represents a type of commercial watercraft characteristic of inland river navigation during the nineteenth century, designed specifically for transport along the Kennet and Avon Canal and similar waterways. As a surviving example of this distinctive vernacular boat-building tradition, the barge preserves evidence of period construction techniques and the material culture of canal commerce. The site's designation as an ancient monument reflects its archaeological and historical importance as a record of inland water transport during the industrial period.
