History
Shown on the 1840 Tithe Map, the cowhouse was probably built c1825, which is the date of an overmantel in the farmhouse and appears to be contemporary with the construction of the farmhouse.

Interior

Reason for designation
Included as a well-preserved early C19 cowhouse having strong group value with the other buildings at Eithinog-uchaf.
