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.

Local climate

Agricultural shelter and stable sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,160 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 90% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 89% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 23 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 76% of listed buildings. Of these, 10 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
