Cadw's description
Location
About 250m north east of Wyelands on the west side of Mathern Road.
History
The cowshed of the Wyelands home farm built in about 1830.
Exterior
Long range constructed of local rubble stone with a Welsh slate roof. Two storeys. Open cowshed to the left with five semi-circular headed openings, these are coverd by a modern lean-to roof, six rectangular openings to the hayloft above. To the right is another hayloft or granary above a store. The lower floor has an elliptically headed window and an added lean-to shed covering the wall, above this is a plain opening and a taking-in door, plain roof.
Interior
The interior was not available for inspection at resurvey, but it could be expected to be extremely plain.
Reason for designation
Included as a well preserved cowshed of a small home farm for an early C19 country house and for its group value with the other listed buildings at Wyelands, especially those of the home farm itself.
