Vernacular field cowhouse, probably late C17 or early C18, originally built to house a small number of cows or cattle and typically detached from the other buildings of the farmstead. The farm was part of the Perthi/Dinas Moch lands which belonged to Sir Watkin Williams Wynn until 1803.
Vernacular field cowhouse, sited with its gable into a gentle hill-slope, as is customary. Of boulder rubble construction on pronounced boulder foundations; slate roof with crudely-kneelered, uncoped rubble gable parapet to the rear gable. Entrance to the lower gable with large stone lintel; deeply-recessed part-boarded door (upper part open). Former loading doorway to the rear gable, now partly boarded.
Two-bay interior with original pegged oak tie-beam and collar trusses.
Listed for its special interest as a good, well-preserved example of this characteristic type of regional field cowhouse.
