Description

This is a cowshed built in the 19th century, designed in an L-shape and constructed from local rubble stone with dressed finishes and slate roofs. The roof is hipped at the southwest junction of the two ranges. The long range faces the yard and features doorways towards the center and at the far right, both adorned with painted voussoir heads. There is a similar doorway at the rear, leading to a feeding passage, along with an oculus at the gable apex. The rear elevation includes another similar doorway at the far left and three 12-paned windows, all with voussoir heads. The shorter range projects into the yard and has a single central doorway facing the yard. Its gable end, which faces the house, features a central doorway and an oculus at the apex, surrounded by three tiers of voussoirs.

Additionally, a raised pitched walkway extends from the gable end of the long range to the upper gable of the shorter range. The roof is supported by bolted trusses.
