Description
The ox byre, now part of Cogges Farm Museum, dates from the 18th century and was altered in the early to mid-19th century. It is constructed of coursed limestone rubble and features a hipped thatch roof. The building is in an L-plan shape with a fodder room added to the rear right in the early 19th century. There are timber lintels over a central 20th-century door and over shuttered windows. Inside, the ox byre contains seven bays of 19th-century stalls, with stone water troughs positioned between each pair of stalls and a feeding passage with a plank partition at the rear. The roof is made of "bundle thatch" supported by cross beams. Additionally, a limestone rubble wall with ashlar coping extends approximately 7 meters to the right. In the 18th century, the building had entries in the end walls. The ox byre's roof, made of bundles of faggots bound with withies, is a rare survival.
