Description
This small outbuilding, possibly a pigsty, is located 30 metres west-northwest of Molescombe House. It likely dates from the 18th century or early 19th century and is constructed of slate rubble with a rag slate roof. The roof is hipped at the east end and gabled at the west end, featuring red clay ridge tiles. The building has a small rectangular plan with a doorway at the east end, a small high window on the south side, and a blocked opening at ground level on the west end. The exterior is one storey, with the south side being mostly blind except for a very small window opening to the left under the eaves, which has a chamfered slate lintel and sill, and a frame made from a single piece of pierced slate. Inside, the original roof structure remains, consisting of one truss with a halved collar that is lapped and pegged to the face of the principals.
