Description

C19 farm-building that appears to have been built as a general fowl-house for chickens and geese; structures like this were particularly intended to protect these animals from foxes. The local rubble structure comprises a monopitched slate roofed building to the W end where it is separated from the boundary of the farmhouse forecourt by a small rectangular enclosure that is open to S. On the eastern side of the fowl-house is a quadrant-shaped rubble-walled and gated yard from within which the building is entered. The fowl-house would have originally been floored internally and access is on its E side via two openings divided by a slate lintel - a small square aperture for chickens over a taller one for geese. On the N side of the yard near the entrance is a small goose pen - a low rectangular recess with stone lintel.

Internally the fowl-house has a stone-flagged floor.
