West Gallaberry

West Gallaberry is a largely early 19th-century farm steading arranged in a U-shaped plan, with the courtyard closed on the south side by simpler, mainly later buildings. The complex comprises three rectangular ranges: north, west, and northeast. The north range may incorporate elements from the late 18th century, likely associated with a horse-powered gin for cutting and milling, though this machinery is now absent. A distinctive octagonal horsemill projects from the outer face of the north range. The horsemill’s roof is faceted and supported by monolith stone piers on dwarf walls. Remarkably, the internal machinery and gearing remain almost entirely intact, including harnesses for three horses.

The buildings are constructed of limewashed rubble with dressed stone detailing. The northeast range has a piended roof, with three stable doors opening onto the courtyard and three swept-roofed roof vents above. The west range is linked to the north range by a plain furnace or boiler, with the southwest angle chamfered down to eaves level. The gable head stack of the north range features small loft openings. Courtyard openings include two cart openings on the west range and slit ventilators on the north range. All roofs are covered with graded slates. The farmhouse is not included in the listing.
