Cadw's description
Location
In a remote situation on the S slope of Cwm Clydach reached by a long mountain lane; W of the hamlet of Aberclydach.

Unit to left has separate doorway with timber lintel and wide boarded door and 4 pane windows to each floor; all windows have very narrow stone sills. Attached farm range has 3 doorways, single ventilation slit, loft opening. Shallow walled courtyard in front of the house.
