Cow Byre Approximately 10 Metres South-East Of West Calverts House

The cow byre, located approximately 10 metres south-east of West Calverts House, dates back to 1695. It is constructed of coursed rubble with a stone slate roof and features two storeys with two first-floor windows. The building has a central board door and single-light chamfered windows. Notable architectural details include shaped kneelers and ashlar copings. There is a single-storey lean-to projection on the left and a pent-roofed single-storey lean-to projection on the right, which was formerly a pig-sty. The rear elevation includes a board door set in ashlar quoining with a chamfered surround, featuring "1695" on the lintel, and external steps leading to the hayloft. Inside, the original roof has a much steeper pitch, likely intended for thatch, and includes two moulded arch-braced collar-beam roof trusses with short crown-posts, a ridge plate, and butt purlins, along with one curved-principal rafter truss with a collar and trenched purlins. The original purpose of this building appears to have been neither domestic nor agricultural.
