History

The building appears to be a rebuild of the late C18 or early C19 of an earlier structure on the site. Plas Iolyn farmhouse was once the major sub-medieval house of this district.

Exterior

Constructed with stone rubble, with a slate roof. Two storeys, containing two cells, the lower, at the N end, a cow house with two battened doors and ventilation slits to the upper floor. The upper end, possibly formerly a stable, has a central door and glazed windows either side to the lower floor. The front wall continues S to the rock face below the Great Barn, and now used as a kennel.

Interior

The door leads to a cross feeding walk at the upper end of the cowhouse. A similar transverse feeding walk in the S section without separate external access. Roof carried on two tiers of purlins, and the soffit torched.
