History

Exterior

Pair of cowhouses, parallel with each other, set into hillside and aligned approximately south-west to north-east with the upper parts of their south-west gable ends roughly level with the road. Roughly coursed rubblestone; slate roofs with rough stone coping to verges. South-eastern cowhouse is the longer of the 2, its north-eastern gable end projecting beyond that of the other cowhouse; hatched opening to south-west gable end with stones projecting above as drip; window to upper part of north-east gable end and 2 doorways in north-western long wall. North-western cowhouse has opening with C20 window in south-west gable end and boarded door on ground floor of north-east gable end. Boarded door (apparently modern) and small blocked window in long wall.
