Stockyard II, Leighton Farm

Stockyard II at Leighton Farm is a Grade II* listed structure consisting of a yard enclosed by a brick wall, featuring a gateway on the south side. The yard is surrounded by ranges designed for housing stock on the west, north, and east sides, all constructed of brick with a slate roof. The north range has a double-pitched roof and is open to the yard on timber posts, with modern sheds added to its walls.

The east range includes five doorways, two of which have modern lintels while the others are round-headed. It also features skylights in the roof. To the west, there are cow houses made up of two parallel ranges, with their gable ends facing the farm road to the north. These cow houses have coped gables supported by moulded kneelers. The west range includes a vent ridge with a round-headed louvred opening in the gable, situated above a wide round-headed doorway that has stone imposts and a wooden gate.

In the east range, there is an infilled bullseye window above a round-headed blind arch, which also has stone imposts and contains a round-headed window. The vent ridge of the west range features some louvred panels but is primarily glazed. The west wall of the west range has segmental-headed windows with louvres, and the north wall of the north range facing the farm road has similar openings. The west range culminates at the south end in a barn.

The stockyard is paved with concrete but is reported to have a sump beneath the surface for collecting manure, which was then directed through a system of conduits to be pumped to the top of Moel y Mab for use as fertilizer. The west range is supported by queen-post roofs with raking struts, while the north range features king-post roofs with raking struts.
