History

The range was probably erected in the early-mid C19 as part of the development of the cattle management yard associated with an earlier farm building against the road.

Exterior

The range is built of rubble stonework with a slate roof. It is set on a continuation of the raised boulder-paved platform above the fold yard on the E. The N end consisting of a 4-bay cowhouse wider than the attached barn at the S end. Two entries at the rear (W) of the cowhouse. The barn is narrower, of 3 bays, with a central wide opening each side, and flanking tall ventilation slits. A long lean-to is attached at the rear at the S end.

Interior

The four bays of the cowhouse are expressed by three king post trusses with shoulded kingposts carrying raking struts to the principal rafters. Three tiers of purlins. Slate two-beast stalls for cattle facing across the building, formed with slate slabs, protected around their edges by timber, and a feed walk along the back against the wall.

Reasons for Listing

Included as the major element of the complete and largely unaltered C19 cattle farm yard at Llwyndyrus, set away from the main yard and farmhouse. The cowhouse is notable for the retention of the original internal layout.
