ST MICHAEL CAERHAYS, Cow house including surrounding retaining walls about 500 metres south-east of Caerhays Castle

GV

II

Probably a cow house. C19. Red brick in English bond. Tiled conical roof. Plan: Circular plan cow house, with doorways on opposite sides. Exterior: The cow house is a single storey circular building with two doorways with timber lintels; no windows. The building is situated in an excavated circular hollow with stone rubble retaining walls end access on the lower side. This is presumably to conceal it in the landscape park. Interior: The roof is supported on a central wooden post. There is a wooden manger. Although the gardens are mainly of later C19, the park is possibly coeval with Caerhays Castle itself, since Humphry Repton may have been consulted (D. Stroud). Sources: Stroud, D.: Humphry Repton 1962.
