Cadw's description
Location
Lleiniau-hirion lies up a small valleyto the S of the village. The pig sty lies close to the rear left corner of the house.
History
Probably built in the C18 to a traditional rural form.
Exterior
Built of boulder walls and having a corbelled stone roof. It is separated from the rear wall of the house by a narrow passage and is approximately 1.7m square in plan, with a narrow low entrance into the run, approximately 2m x 3m, with its entrance alongside the gable of the farmhouse. The height internally is approximately 1.2m.
Reason for designation
Included as a rare survival of the traditional type of corbelled pig sty used in upland Welsh farms until the C19, and of group value with the farmhouse.
