Description
The NE courtyard range at Aberglasney is a multi-purpose agricultural building constructed from rubble stone, featuring a restored hipped slate roof. It was built in three distinct phases, which are marked by vertical joints. Below the eaves, there is a line of pigeon holes with a corresponding ledge, likely part of the final phase of construction, which runs continuously across the front elevation, except where it is interrupted by inserted windows.
On the left (north) end, there is a two-bay cart shed with cambered red-sandstone arches. To the right of the cart shed, there is a doorway with similar voussoirs and an inserted window above that disrupts the line of pigeon holes. The central unit includes a central camber-headed doorway with stone voussoirs and double boarded doors, flanked by casement windows with brick heads, along with a similar casement window inserted in the loft on the upper right. The right-hand (south) unit features a flat stone arch leading to a boarded door, which is offset to the right side. The right end wall has twin lunette windows, though these were obscured by vegetation during the inspection.
At the rear of the cart shed, there is a segmental-headed window, and to the left of this is an added lean-to structure against both the cart shed and the central unit, positioned beneath a stone eaves stack. The south end unit contains a blocked window.
The roof has been reconstructed using new trusses, and the cart shed includes a small fireplace at the rear.
