Cadw's description
Location
Located some 100m SE of, and behind Bryn Mwllach, set against a rock outcrop by a stream.
Exterior
Small, late C19 dairy-house of rectangular plan; slate rubble construction with slated, gabled roof and some surviving render. Recessed 16-pane original sash window to NW gable face; C20 recessed, boarded door to SW side and a small ventilator to the rear (SE) gable. On the NE side, an external iron waterwheel, formerly overshot and with wooden paddles; by J and E Roberts, Llanrwst Foundry (in raised letters).
Interior
The interior was not inspected at the time of survey (11/96).
Reason for designation
Included for group value with Bryn Mwllach and for its special historic interest as one of very few known examples of surviving in situ work by the Llanrwst foundry.
