Cottage, earlier C19, part of the group of cottages built on encroached common land N of Plas-yn-Rhiw. Marked on 1842 Rhiw Tithe Map. Altered since 1971 listing.
Cottage, whitewashed textured render with grouted slate roof and whitewashed rendered end stacks with dripstones. Single storey and loft, double-fronted with C20 window each side of door, the left window larger, (in 1971 there was a sash left and a casement to right). Small skylight in roof. C20 rebuilt addition to left, to similar roof height and with large front window (in 1971 there was a dry-stone lean-to here).
Interior not accessible at time of survey. In 1971 said to have had 'wide fireplace with beam above, covered, and with somewhat recessed oven. Ceiling joists with roll-moulded edges. Wide-boarded floor. Close-string stair. Flag floor'.
Included despite alterations as part of the compact and largely complete group of encroachment cottages on this still uncultivated hillside. As a group they form one of the best examples regionally of the process of settling marginal land in the C19.
