History

Early C19 and marked on the 1840 Tithe map of Llanybyther.

Exterior

Cow house of limewashed rubble stone under a slate roof. Openings have timber lintels to 3 boarded doors. On the R-hand side is a small corrugated-iron lean-to used for churn storage in the mid C20. In the R-hand, uphill, gable end is a boarded loft loading door. An added continuous rear outshut has part corrugated plastic, and part slate, roof.

Interior

There is a 5-bay collar-beam roof. The doorways open to a central feed passage and outer muck passages. Original stalls survive of brick with wooden mangers, although the brickwork has largely been cement-rendered. The outshut housed a calf cot.
