Description
A row of pigshouses, a pumphouse, and a butterwell, likely built in the early 19th century, are located directly south of Treludick. Constructed from stone rubble, the buildings feature a rag slate roof with hipped ends. The layout consists of a rectangular plan with the pigshouses on the left, which have feeding holes facing the main house, and the pumphouse on the right. Adjacent to the pumphouse is the butterwell, which is set into the bank behind the house.
The exterior is a single-storey range topped with a continuous rag slate roof. Each pigshouse has a feeding hole with a granite surround and a four plank door. The pumphouse has plank double doors, while the butterwell features a plank door at the front. Inside, the pumphouse contains a 19th-century pump, and the butterwell is equipped with complete slate shelves. Both the butterwell and pigshouses are still in use for their original purposes, and the entire group remains intact and unaltered.
