Description
This is an agricultural shelter and stable built in the mid to late 19th century. It is constructed from hand-made red brick and features a graduated stone slate roof.
The building is a small, rectangular single-storey structure with a pitched roof made of stone slate. It has a brick-built chimneystack on the left gable and a single entrance on the south elevation, which includes a stone step. There is also a square opening near the eaves on the north elevation, while the other walls are blind. Over the past century, the drained moss surrounding the building has receded, exposing parts of the structure that were previously buried, including arched foundations on the west gable that were added to strengthen the building.
Inside, there is a red-brick hearth against the west gable, featuring a stone lintel and a tapering, full-height brick-built flue. The interior space is divided into three stalls by a pair of timber stall partitions, with one stall in front of the chimney and one on either side. The stall to the right has mostly lost its boarded uprights, while the central stall has a timber manger positioned against the hearth. The roof structure is simple, with single purlins and a narrow ridge piece.
