The pigsties, described in 1919 as ‘4 piggeries’ were recorded in a ruinous state (photographs in report) just before their repair in 1993. This building is the eastern of the two parallel ranges aligned north-south in the southern yard at Bullaton, separated from the poultry houses at the rear by a narrow passage. The building comprises four similar sties under one continuous roof with a shelter or porch at the northern end. The block measures 12.6 by 2.6 meters and is gable-ended. Each sty is around 2.2 meters long with a cobbled floor.
None of the original timberwork remained so the entire roof structure was replaced and laid with corrugated iron in 1993. New doors were also provided at this time. It is unclear whether this building was originally lofted, which is often usual for a structure such as this.
