A range of four pigsties and an engine shed, built around 1840. The structure is made of yellow brick and features a monopitch pantile roof. It is a single-storey building with a four-bay front, which includes four small openings at ground level that have segmental heads. Attached to the pigsties is a taller gabled shed that originally housed an engine powered by town gas, intended to drive the mill when there was not enough wind. This building is included in the listing for its group value only.
