Description

A row of four pig houses, possibly dating from the late 18th century, is located immediately to the northeast of Ford Farmhouse. These structures feature granite rubble walls and a single-pitch corrugated iron roof. Each pig house has a feeding opening at the front, equipped with doors and a shallow stone feed trough that serves as the cill of the opening. At the rear, each house provides access to a small yard, which includes a boar pen in the north corner. The boar pen is roofless and contains a small trough. This group of pig houses forms part of the overall setting with Ford Farmhouse and its associated farm buildings.
