Pigsties, Attached Wall And Swill Kitchen To North Of Lower Pentire Farmhouse

The pigsties, attached wall, and swill kitchen, located to the north of Lower Pentire Farmhouse, are notable structures likely built in the early 19th century, with additional buildings added to the wall probably in the mid-19th century. They are constructed from killas rubble with granite dressings and feature grouted scantle slate roofs, along with a brick stack at one end of the swill kitchen. The small rectangular buildings face each other across a yard and are linked on one side by an older yard wall, which serves as one side and the rear wall for each building. These single-storey structures include pigsties with two feeding hatches flanked by two doorways, while the swill kitchen has a doorway and a small window, all featuring old ledged doors. Inside, the pigsties retain their original cobbled floor, slate partitions, granite troughs, and roof structure, while the swill kitchen boasts an original roof structure with tie-beam trusses.
