Location

Detached at north side of Awelaur, close to the former servants' wing of the house. A screen wall conceals it from the garden.

Contemporary with the construction of the former Vicarage, c1879.

Exterior

A small building in local limestone with hipped slate roof. Scalloped red ridge tiles similar to those of the house. Slates butted at hips. Door openings at east and south sides.

Reason for designation

An unusual survival of a detached latrine for domestic servants; also listed for group value with the house and coach-house.
