Field cowhouse, probably late C17 and representative of the kind of agricultural practice typical of this region in the early modern period. The building originally would have served as a (cattle) byre with incorporated hayloft.
Vernacular field cowhouse, probably late C17 and sited with its gable into a gentle hill-slope, as is customary. Of boulder rubble construction on pronounced boulder and rock foundations; old slate roof with crudely-kneelered, un-coped rubble gable parapets. Entrance to the lower gable with crude projecting lintel supported on stone corbels; deeply-recessed modern door. Further entrances at upper ends of each of the long sides, with modern boarded doors.
The interior is of 3 bays and retains its original primitive pegged trusses; of tie-beam and collar type.
Listed for its special interest as a vernacular late C17/early C18 field cowhouse retaining good character.
