Description
The cattle weigh-house at Bodorgan home farm is a small single-storey building dating from the 19th century. It features rubble walls with gritstone dressings and a single-pitch slate roof. The weigh-house is flanked by farm curtilage walls, with the wall to the north appearing to merge with the weigh-house, indicating that it may have been partially constructed from the existing wall.
On the south side, there is a narrow square-headed doorway, and to the right, a barred window with a thin slate lintel. In front of the building, there is an infilled pit.
Inside, the weigh-house consists of a single room with plastered walls. It has an unusually heavy boarded door made of double thickness boards, with the outer boards arranged vertically and the inner boards horizontally. At the north end of the room, there is a pit containing fragments of the weighing machine, which was connected underground to the pit outside.
