Description

The piggery at Plas Kinmel is a 19th-century structure built of limestone with slate roofs. It is arranged around three sides of a square yard, which can be accessed from the southwest corner. On the northern side, there are five styes, each featuring a small exercise yard enclosed by walls that are 1.3 meters high and paired gates. Each sty has a single opening and a steeply pitched ventilation dormer that is shared between two adjacent styes. The eastern side has three similar styes, with the roof extending to a hipped end. The last bay on this side opens into a large farrowing run, which forms the southern side of the yard. The front of this sty is partially enclosed with brick walls.
