Cartshed With Linked Pigsty/Henhouse To North Of Beckside Farmhouse

This is a cartshed with a linked pigsty and henhouse located to the north of Beckside Farmhouse, dating from the 18th century for the cartshed and early 19th century for the pigsty. The structure is built of squared sandstone, roughly coursed on the cartshed and more evenly on the pigsty. It features pantiled roofs with stone dressings and is a single storey.

The cartshed has a large, off-centre entrance that is deeply-segmental, with boarded double doors. The tympanum above the entrance is now covered with corrugated iron, and there is a blocked opening above it. The steeply-pitched roof, which was formerly thatched, has copings that rest on block kneelers.

The pigsty, located to the south, includes three boarded doors and three feeding chutes. Between the cartshed and the pigsty, steps lead up to a gable-end door that provides access to the henhouse. The henhouse has a fairly low-pitched roof with a stone ridge and copings on shaped kneelers.
