Small Outbuilding Approximately 8 Metres East Of Lower West Coombe Farmhouse

This small outbuilding, likely a pair of pig-sties, dates from the 18th century and is located approximately 8 metres east of Lower West Coombe Farmhouse. It is constructed of coursed granite rubble, featuring some larger dressed blocks and dressed granite quoins with chamfered edges at the corners. The building has a gable-ended corrugated iron roof and a rectangular plan that has probably always been divided into two compartments.

The structure is single-storey, with an original doorway on the left side of the north wall, framed by dressed granite blocks and a lintel. To the right of this doorway, there is a small recess framed by larger blocks, although there is no indication of its purpose inside. Another doorway is located on the left side of the right gable, also framed by dressed granite blocks. Adjacent to this doorway, a deep granite trough projects partway up the wall, with a recess above it. Above and to the right of this door is a ventilation light or owl hole. The left gable end features an original granite-framed window opening.

Inside, the building contains a stone dividing wall that extends partway up the walls, with a shallow granite trough in each compartment. There is also a blocked window located halfway up the rear wall.
