Description
Bentend is an early 18th-century building, likely extended in the late 18th to early 19th century. It is a long, single-storey gabled structure with a rectangular plan, primarily constructed from water-worn boulders, featuring dressed sandstone quoins and lintels. The southern side has areas of wall that have collapsed due to erosion of the mortar. There are three doorways and two windows visible, with one small window located towards the eastern end. The door to the west of this window has chamfered arrises and a marriage lintel dated 1724, which includes the initials AA and MA linked by a heart. Additional rybats have been added on each side to raise the lintel. A doorway near the eastern end is similarly tooled to these rybats. The northern elevation features one door and one window, along with traces of a second window, all grouped towards the center of the building. There is a small square window in the eastern gable. The roof is sarked and slated, although most of the slates have been removed.
