Piggery About 15 Metres North West Of Bosvathick Farmhouse

This building is a piggery located about 15 metres northwest of Bosvathick Farmhouse, dating from the late 19th century. It is constructed of granite rubble, featuring dressed granite quoins and lintels, with a slate hipped roof topped with black glazed ridge tiles. The rear slope is covered with corrugated asbestos. The piggery has a long rectangular plan that faces the farmyard, containing eight pigsties with four pairs of doorways at the front. There is a feeding passage along the back, which includes a doorway at the right-hand end. At the left-hand end, there is a separate room with a wide doorway on the left-hand end wall, equipped with double doors; this space may have served as a store or preparation room. The doorways are fitted with plank doors. Inside, the piggery retains its original slate partitions that separate each sty, topped with strips of timber capping. The structure is open to the roof, which features a nailed softwood framework. This piggery is part of a remarkably complete and unaltered late 19th-century farmstead situated on the small Bosvathick estate.
