Cadw's description
Location
Located immediately to the north-west of Fferm Cochwillan, the pigsties facing the cowhouse/cart shelter range on the other side of the yard.
History
Later C19 pigsties/kitchen for feed preparation probably built simultaneously with Fferm Cochwillan.
Exterior
Pigsties and pig kitchen forming L-plan, the kitchen the taller of the 2 buildings. Irregularly coursed rubblestone (with slate slab coping to pens); gable-ended slate roofs with coped verges and ridge ventilators. 3 pens on main yard side with doors to interior divided by stone cross walls; slate and brick feeding troughs with iron gates to pens. Kitchen has doorway to left (now with sliding metal door), roughly central brick stack and 8-pane/boarded ventilator window on right; stable door with slate lintel to right gable end.
Interior
Interior not inspected at time of Survey.
Reason for designation
Included, notwithstanding the large metal door to the kitchen, as an integral part of the unusually large and essentially unaltered later C19 farm complex at Cochwillan.
