C1890-1900. They are built up against the back of the stables facing away from the yard towards the west. It has a lean-to roof down to a low front wall containing the remains of a row of four low pig doorways onto the pig run. There are two man doors, each opposite each other in the side walls against the stables. Inside the sty partitions have gone but their lines can be seen on the floor. They define the four sties with a feeding corridor along the back wall of the stable. This back wall contains an alcove quite high in the wall, presumably provided for a lamp or maybe just a small cupboard. The lean to roof is similar in style, although simpler, to that of the stable.
The south wall of the building extends forward (westward) a short distance before returning northwards in fort of the sties. The northern end is demolished. Presumably this enclosure was the pig run.
