Description
This is a locomotive shed built with roughly coursed slate slabs, featuring a rectangular plan and an extension at the southeast end. The building has a gable-ended slate roof, although many of the slates were missing at the time of the survey. The main entrance is located in the northwest gable end, which includes two pedestrian doorways, one of which is blocked, on the northeast long wall. Inside, there are A-frame trusses supporting the structure.
