Description
Bog Head Cottage and adjacent farm buildings date from the early 19th century. They are constructed of squared rubble with a stone slate roof and stand two storeys high with three bays. The front features an off-centre boarded door, a 16-pane sash window to the left, and a similar window above it. To the right, there is a boarded door leading to the byre and a half-slatted window above. There are small lean-to additions on both the left and right sides. The left return displays a small blocked attic window and boarded doors in the lean-to and in the left end wall of the contemporary house outshut. The rear elevation includes a hayloft door on the left flanked by slit vents, and a pitching door in the right lean-to. This building is a good example of a house used by a smallholder-cum-miner, a type that was once common in the area.
