Garden wall and attached shippon; the shippon formerly a house. Wall dated 1728, built in 2 sections, one joined to each side of the shippon, which pre-dates the wall, probably of late C17, with later alterations. Wall in slatestone rubble with greenstone coping. Shippon in slatestone rubble with slate roof with gable ends and ridge tiles, some early ridge tiles remaining. Plan: The shippon was originally a 2-room plan house, with each room heated by gable end stack and central entrance to front. The wall is attached in a straight range between St Erney House (q.v.) and the shippon, and extends in an L-plan beyond the shippon. The wall is about two to four metres high, according to the slope of the ground; in the section adjoining St Erney House, there is a gateway with granite jambs and lintel, with C20 wrought iron gate. Beyond the shippon, the wall extends about 10 metres, with a rounded corner, with another 15 metres in the L-plan. On the inner side of the wall is a datestone of 1728 with illegible initials. The shippon has a central cart entrance to the front. Right side has external stack and 2-light window opening at ground floor to left, with timber lintel. Left side has external stack, upper level in cob with first floor window opening, with timber lintel and slate cill. The rear has a low window opening to right and smaller opening to left.
