Piggeries at Nerquis Hall

The Piggeries at Nerquis Hall is a late 18th-century former coach-house and cart-house, with adjacent piggeries to the north. The building is constructed of rubble with a sandstone ashlar facing, and the coach and cart houses feature slate roofs. The coach house section on the left has a gabled roof with tile coping and plain kneelers. It includes two large entrances with depressed-arched heads and chamfered reveals, now fitted with modern boarded double-doors. To the right is the former cartshed, which has four plain-arched openings with projecting keys to the depressed heads; the outer openings are partly bricked-up. The south gable end has later buttressing and a rebuilt brick upper section, while the rear pitch of the roof is covered with corrugated iron.

To the south of the cart-house is a contemporary open gateway made of rubble with rough-dressed stone quoins and capping, some of which is missing. This gateway leads into a walled enclosure that runs behind the coach/cart range in a rough square and ends at a modern gate in the northwest corner. The wall is also made of rubble, with stone capping, stepped up at the northeast corner, and partly collapsed to the north.

Adjoining the coach-house on the left, forming a rough L shape, is a series of pig-sties that have depressed-arched entrances leading to a coped and stone-faced brick wall. The rear of the pig-sties has a mono-pitched roof, which is now mostly collapsed.

To the south, there is a dwarf rubble wall that ends at the junction with the northeast corner of the stable range, where it meets a pair of plain stone gate-piers with conical capping. The plain late 18th-century wrought iron gates remain in place.
