Full Description
Two adjoining cattle shelters, connected by brick walls, which enclose a small crew yard area, all thought to date to the early 19th century. These structures were the focus of a Design Access and Heritage Statement, produced in 2013, prior to their proposed conversion. The main structure is an open-sided cattle shelter and store, and forms the northern component of the complex. It is built of local red/orange clay bricks, laid in a variety of bonds including Flemish and English Garden Wall bond. The roof was originally of pantiles, though this has largely collapsed, and little remains in situ. Adjoining this structure, to the west, lies another, smaller cattle shelter. Although in poor condition, this structure is largely intact, and is of a similar construction to the larger shelter. Connecting both structures are brick walls, approximately 1.75m high, which enclose a small crew yard area, to the south and west of the shelters. {1}
