Description

Farmyard to rear of row of three cottages, raised on stone-vaulted terrace high above the mansion site. Coursed slaty rubble stone. Farmcourt comprises on W side the rear of Nos 1-3 Temple Druid Cottages, and a single-storey range on N and S, both altered c. 1900. The E side is open between the gable ends, carried on high rubble faced walls with openings to tall vaulted chambers under the farmyard ranges, a stone revetment between with walkway on top and low openings into low vaulted small spaces under the farmyard itself. The right end including the E gable of the N range has collapsed since listing, taking with it part of the roof of the N range. This roof is of small local grey slates. S range roof is of corrugated asbestos sheet. E side end bays were tall rising to include gable ends of farmyard ranges, but right wall has collapsed exposing vault within and interior of building above. Both ends had tall arched openings with stone voussoirs, into high barrel-vaulted chambers, the one to left with right side fireplace, the one to right with some blocked openings. Left gable has damaged segmental-arched window with stone voussoirs in end of S farmyard range, set to right, the window replaced by one with flat brick head cutting into original arch. Between the bays there is a plain revetment wall with damaged L-shaped flight of 10 steps to right to a walkway above between the two end sections. Off the walkway are 5 openings, those to left and right narrow with stone voussoirs to semi-circular arched heads. Those to centre comprise two with stone voussoirs to slightly cambered openings and a similar centre one but with thin pine lintel. Left opening is into a low narrow barrel-vaulted chamber running back into the bank, and the three centre openings are into low chambers with cambered stone vaults running back. The right arch opens onto flight of 17 steps up to courtyard level. The small courtyard is overgrown. Low gabled ranges N and S. S range had three arched openings with stone voussoirs, that to right wider and the only one to retain the voussoirs, robbed from other two, blocked in C20. N range has two chambers within, but E end has collapsed. Pine C19 collar trusses. Openings mostly altered: left window with earlier C20 red brick head and concrete sill, then door with similar red brick head, then a recessed blank panel possibly original. A fourth window has been lost in the collapse.
