Building record 6002/1/8 - Cattle sheds

{1} Two long, single-storey sheds used for tethering and feeding cattle were constructed against the outer wall of the south-west foddering hovel. Although not part of the original farmstead, they were in existence by 1810, and are built of coursed limestone and with pantiled roofs. The most westerly shed has a stone back wall with square brick piers to the front elevation. There is a later extension on the more easterly shed (first recorded on 1880s OS maps but probably built earlier in the 19th century) in coursed limestone, built to store and process turnips and other root vegetables for cattle feed.
