Cart Shed and Loose Boxes to North East of Farmyard at Long Rigg Farm

The cart-shed and loose-boxes, located to the north-east of the farmyard at Long Rigg Farm, were likely built around 1903 for Lord Ree of Gatehouse and have since been altered. Constructed from granite rubble with a graduated slate roof, the building is arranged in an L-plan. It features a four-bay open-fronted cart-shed with a receding wing on the right that contains two loose-boxes. The cart-shed is supported by four square piers made of massive granite blocks. To the left, there is a solid gable wall that now serves as a partition to a five-bay 20th-century extension. The right-hand gable wall stands approximately two meters high, with the opening above now covered by corrugated sheeting. The roof is supported by bolted kingpost trusses. The rear wing includes two stable doors with quoined surrounds and a segmental-headed window between them, which has three-pane glazing above a wooden ventilator. This structure forms a visual and functional group with the model farm buildings at Long Rigg Farm.
