19th century pigstys at Lindsell Hall (EHER 48371)

A 2011 building survey recorded four 19th century buildings that were used for pig farming.

2011. Building survey. A programme of building recording was carried out by the Colchester Archaeological Trust (CAT) on four buildings at the medieval farm complex of Lindsell Hall, Lindsell, Essex in July 2011. The buildings date from the early to mid 19th century. The buildings are all associated with pig farming and provide examples of the re-use of older structures and materials in farming communities. Three of the buildings have been partially demolished and are in a dilapidated state. The remaining building has been altered significantly. The significance of these buildings is in their connection to farming life in Essex and the historic farm complex at Lindsell Hall. <1>
