Description
The building is a single-storey range that includes a pigsty with a yard to the north and a henhouse to the south. It is constructed of drystone, possibly with a clay or earth core, featuring flat stone quoins and rounded fieldstone walls, all with mortar pointing. The roof is mono-pitched, covered with old small slates that are heavily grouted, and there is a small skylight in the eastern pitch of the henhouse roof. The pigsty has a low door in the eastern wall, located at the lower eaves of the roof, which opens onto a stone-walled yard that includes feeding chutes. The henhouse features a timber-framed two-pane window in the eastern elevation to allow early morning light to encourage egg laying, along with the skylight, and a doorway on the rear elevation.
