There are two adjoining open-fronted cartsheds on the north-west side of the farmyard. In total they measure 22 by 5 metres. The western cartshed is built of roughly-coursed slate rubble-stone, with hints that the end of the gable walls facing the yard were shaped; it is roofless and appears to have had an asymmetric pitched roof. It was built between 1842 and 1866. The eastern cartshed retains a roof of corrugated box-section plastic-coated tin sheeting supported on modern pine trusses. A similar building is shown on the earliest maps (1770s), but the style of the stonework – roughly coursed limestone rubble – would indicate the current building is probably 20th century in date. See report for full details.
