Pigsty About 30 Metres South East Of Sweaton Farmhouse

The pigsty, located about 30 metres southeast of Sweaton Farmhouse, is probably from the early 19th century. It is constructed of granite rubble and has a slated roof. The building measures approximately 7 metres long and 4 metres wide and was likely originally divided into two compartments. It is a single storey, previously having a loft.

The east gable wall features a ventilation slit with a loft doorway above, which is now boarded up. The north wall has a small square opening at the base of which is the outer edge of a granite feeding trough; iron hinges and a catch for a door are still present. To the right of this opening is another ventilation slit. The west gable wall also contains an opening with a feeding trough. The south wall has an altered doorway, which includes some concrete block in the upper part; it likely originally had a pair of doors flanked and divided by short granite posts.

Inside, the pigsty has well-made housings for the former loft floor-beams. The roof consists of two trusses, which appear to be original, with principal rafters halved at the apex and nailed together, and collars that are also nailed to their faces.
