Description

The building is a piggery located immediately south-southeast of Skindles Farmhouse, dating from the late 18th century or early 19th century. It is constructed of slate rubble and features a grouted slurried slate roof with gabled ends and clay ridge tiles. The piggery has a rectangular plan with a loft above.

The front faces a farmyard and includes four ground floor doorways with timber lintels, although two on the right are blocked. There are three small square windows on the first floor, each with slate corbel steps that provide access ladders. An external stone staircase on the gable end leads to the loft door. The ground at the rear is at a lower level, featuring a large central buttress and later buttresses with an inserted window. Inside, there is only one internal division located at the north end, and the building has pegged roof trusses.
