SAWLEY HALL ROAD SE 26 NE (south side, off)
5/175 Garden building and enclosure wall approximately 200 metres west of Sawley Hall
GV II
Garden building and enclosure wall. Probably early-mid C19. Coursed squared gritstone, grey slate roof to garden building. Garden building: circular, approximately 5 metres in diameter, walls 2 metres high; entrance on south side flanked by narrow buttresses, jambs and lintel of edge-tooled single blocks, the lintel curved to follow the curvature of the walls. Small aperture in wall opposite. Oversailing eaves, conical roof. Interior: earth floor; 4 principal rafters with halved collars support chamfered king post. Circular enclosure wall: approximately 2 metres high, 80 metres diameter; of carefully tooled and coursed stone on inner face, but of coursed rubble on outer face. Wide gateway on north side, narrower pedestrian gate on south. Both have shallow triangular-arched lintels, chamfered on both sides, the north entrance lintel of 2 pieces. Original purpose uncertain, but local tradition claims that the garden building was a cockpit. Cock-fighting was made illegal in England in 1849, which might explain the secluded nature of the building, but cockpits are generally larger and with a deeper well.
