Description

The Pensianel Pigsty is a circular structure built from rubble stone, featuring walls made of courses of stones with minimal mortar. It has a circular plan and a pointed dome roof, which is constructed by slightly corbelling each successive course of thin stones. The apex of the roof is topped with a curved finial stone. There is a narrow door located on the south side, which has a stone slab lintel.
