Cadw's description
Location
At the west side of Glynhir farmyard. Fragments of low wall at front against farmyard access, formerly enclosing a paddock.
History
Pigsties and sheds probably added to Glynhir as one of the improvements following the acquisition of Glynhir by Peter DuBuisson in 1770.
Exterior
A set of six sties, the sty to the north being a little larger than the others. Local sandstone rubble masonry, with some yellow brick at eaves. Slate roof. One feeding chute survives. Taller sheds with their gables to the front terminate the row at each end.
In front of the sties is a pitched-stone apron, with an open drain at the outer edge, and a circular well, of about 3 m diameter, filled.
Reason for designation
Listed for group value as one of an exceptionally complete series of estate buildings at Glynhir.
