Beverley End tenter ground, apiary and ruined weavers' cottage

The site comprises 18th-century terraces and walls forming tenter grounds, incorporating an apiary and the ruins of a weavers’ cottage. The structures are built from local gritstone, generally squared and roughly laid in courses.

The terraces are generally 2-3 metres wide, bounded by drystone revetment walls ranging in height from less than 0.5 metres to over 2 metres. The site is enclosed by drystone boundary walls, and access between levels is provided by stone steps, including a set built into the face of a high revetment wall to the north-east of the cottage. Several rectangular alcoves with stone slab lintels and sills are built into the terrace walls. Five smaller alcoves, within two low revetment walls north-east of the cottage ruins, measure approximately 0.3 to 0.9 metres wide, 0.3 to 0.7 metres high, and 0.3 to 0.7 metres deep, and are identified as bee boles, designed to hold a single skep. Larger recesses, to the north and north-west of the cottage ruins, possibly representing bee shelters for multiple skeps, are about 1.6 metres by 1.5 metres by 1 metre.

The ruined cottage stands centrally on the south-west side, largely reduced to low wall lines except for a single room roofed with corrugated iron sheeting (which is excluded from the listing). The front wall of this room has been rebuilt, incorporating a two-light mullioned window. An outbuilding built into rising ground to the north-west has a stone slab floor and roof, constructed from substantial dressed stone blocks, including one approximately 1 metre by 3.2 metres, with a drain hole. A stone-built platform, uphill and to the north of this outbuilding, appears to have been formed by truncating and infilling another outbuilding. Footings of a smaller outbuilding, interpreted as a privy, are located to the south-east of the cottage ruins.

The listing includes the drystone walls defining the trackways adjacent to the cottage and boundaries of the associated enclosures.
