Description

The pigsties and bull pen, located adjacent to the north-west side of Whitehough, date from the early 18th century with some alterations from the early 19th century. They are constructed from coursed dressed and squared stone and feature a tiled roof with verge parapets and pitched copings. The bull pen is situated higher up the bank to the north and has a small single-storey layout with a door on the left side. The pigsties, located to the left, have a monopitch roof and are built against a rear wall. There are three units, each with openings featuring heavy lintels on the left. Additionally, there are three segmental-arch feed trough bins along the front perimeter wall to the east, which steps up the slope.
