Description

The manure shed at Long Rigg Farm, built in 1903 for Lord Ree of Gatehouse, is now used as a store and is located at the center of a model farmyard. This structure features piers made of large granite blocks and linking walls constructed from random rubble, topped with a pyramidal roof of graduated slate. It has an almost square plan and is a single storey high, with square piers at each corner and in the center of each side, connected by low side walls. The front side, which faces the shippon, does not have a pier and is open. There are wide rectangular openings on the sides and rear, which are currently covered with corrugated sheeting. The roof has oversailing eaves and is supported by a single lateral roof truss. This manure shed, along with the barn, shippon, stable block, pigsties, multi-functional range, and boundary wall, contributes to the complete model farm.
