Cadw's description
Location
In the centre of the farm yard on the E side of the house. Berthlwyd Farm is an upland farm S of Treforest, reached by farm road on the E side of a minor road from Pontypridd to Church Village.
Exterior
A round corbelled pigsty of c1800, with rubble-stone walls and conical slab roof covered with render leading to a flat cap. It has a single opening under a slab lintel. A drystone former field wall is attached on the E side, while the rounded pen wall is rebuilt and was originally straight.
Reason for designation
Listed as one of the few surviving corbelled pigsties in Glamorgan, a venerable type of construction once common in the region.
