Cattle shelter at Norris Castle

The cattle shelter at Norris Castle is an early 19th-century building constructed for Lord Henry Seymour. It is made of coursed rubble and features a slate roof.

This rectangular, single-storey structure has a hipped slate roof with red ridge tiles and is built into the west boundary wall of the estate. The main façade faces east towards the park and includes a wide square-headed opening with a timber lintel, which has replaced two earlier round-headed arched doorways and their dividing wall. The stone voussoirs that formed the outer jambs and outer arches of the original doorways remain intact.

On the south elevation, there is a small square-headed two-light window, although the casements and fixed panes are no longer present. A four-panelled door located at the south end of the west wall provides access to the adjoining property. The north elevation is currently blind but shows possible traces of a blocked opening. Inside, the cattle shelter features a clasped purlin roof supported by struts and dragon ties.
