History

Apparently a small field cowhouse, perhaps preceding the larger structure to its north. No direct dating evidence, but probably C18. At the time of the Tithe survey if 1849, there were two farmsteads at Berth-ddu - this building may be a survival from this period before a larger holding was created.

Exterior

Small field cow-house. Built against the slope such that its gable end pitching door is accessible from the higher ground level. Mortared rubble stone with close-eaved slate roof. Doorway in south wall, pitching door in east gable end.

Reasons for Listing

Forms part of a group of dispersed out-buildings at Berth-ddu which clearly illustrate the organisation of animal husbandry typical of upland agriculture. A small-scale but characteristic example of its building type.
