Description
The pigsty at Wern Farm is a Grade II listed building, constructed in the early to mid-19th century. It is made of whitewashed rubble stone and features a stone slate roof with ridge tiles. The structure consists of three sties arranged in a line, each with small enclosed yards, and includes an attached shed. There are four doorways, and the building has no other openings. This pigsty is a complete example of its type from that period. The interiors were not inspected during the resurvey in December 1996.
