Description

The pigsties, likely built in the 19th century, are located to the southwest of Higher Hampt Farmhouse. Constructed from slate rubble with granite dressings, they feature a corrugated asbestos roof with gabled ends. The structure is a small rectangular four-bay range that is attached to the lower end of the farmhouse and is divided into three sties, with the entrance located in the fourth bay at one end. It is a single-storey building with a three-bay south front, which includes a doorway on the right and three granite troughs set into small granite-lined openings low in the wall. The north elevation, facing the yard, has three doorways with wooden lintels and 20th-century plank doors. Inside, only one of the slate partitions remains.
