What is recorded here
Detached gable-fronted single-bay single-storey former forge, built in 1880. Now used as an outbuilding for animals. Fronting onto roadway. Corrugated-iron roof. Random coursed walls with tooled stone quoins. Window openings have been blocked. Horseshoe-arched opening with tooled stone surround and surmounted by date plaque 'AD 1880'.
This former blacksmith's forge, located to the north of the former Toberdaly Demesne is a rare survivor, retaining some original features and materials of note, including the finely tooled limestone arch in the shape of a horseshoe. This building is an important piece of social history, and is a reminder of a by-gone age and highly skilled craft.
