Calf Pens Directly To North-West Of The Infirmary

The calf pens, originally a cattle shelter, date from around the mid-19th century but likely include some medieval walling. They feature stone rubble walls, with the tall rear wall exhibiting a pronounced batter. The building has a gable-ended slate roof and consists of a row of loose boxes arranged around three sides of a courtyard; these may have originally been open-fronted for use as a cattle shelter. The battered rear wall appears much older and was probably integrated into the 19th-century structure. It is a single-storey building with an irregular front that includes ten doorways and intermediate windows around the courtyard. At the rear, the ground drops significantly, and the tall battered wall has two buttresses; one is simply constructed of rubble, while the other is made of granite ashlar, similar to the materials used in the infirmary and the tithe barn nearby.
