PIGSTY (Late 19th century to 21st century - 1896 AD (pre) to 2011 AD? (throughout))

Description

August 2011. Heritage assessment. The pig pen cannot be classed as a building, rather it is more a collection of corrugated iron and asbestos nailed to a makeshift timber frame, part of which has interrupted studwork characteristic of the 19th century. This has been added to and modified successively over the past century. Nowadays, it is derelict and of no value except as a indicator of the past use of the farmyard. It is present on the 1896 OS map. <1> <2>
