Description
A combined pigsty and henhouse, likely built early in the nineteenth century and altered somewhat in the twentieth century, constructed of red brick with a mono-pitched slate roof and moulded stone capping on the pigsty and yard walls. There are two small opening for poultry on the southern wall and four pigsties to the east with paired doors to the yard and paired arched entrances to the shed. Each of the sties has a bowl on a brick plinth connected to an internal ceramic chute and feeding trough, all of ceramic excepting the southernmost which is stone. The dividing walls in the yard have been damaged.
