Corbelled pig crews (2) is an uncertain corbelled pig sty located in County Down, Northern Ireland. The structure represents a form of agricultural vernacular building associated with traditional pig husbandry practices in Ulster. Corbelled construction, whereby successive courses of stone are progressively cantilevered inward to form a roof, is characteristic of certain rural agricultural structures in the region. The precise dating and original function of this example remain uncertain, though such structures typically belong to the post-medieval or early modern period when organised pig keeping became established as part of mixed farming systems.
