Cadw's description
Location
Situated on the W side of the farmyard at Bryn-rhos, just E of the A483 some 1.7 km S of junction 47 on the M4 motorway.
History
Earlier to mid C19 outbuilding, one of 3 around the farm courtyard at Bryn-rhos, a Penllergare estate farm. All originally were whitewashed and had hipped roofs, replaced with gabled roofs in late C19 probably. This range had stable to left and barn to right.
Exterior
Outbuilding, rubble stone with C20 tin-steel roof, stable to left has door between two windows, barn to right has broad opening between 2 vent loops. Openings all have cambered heads with stone voussoirs. Stable windows have been blocked in C20. S end wall has blocked unusual dovecote with round opening in centre within a ring of raised stone, and 6 blocked small openings with shelf below positioned around in hexagon. End gables are added, difference in stonework. Rear has blocked cart-entry to barn to left with vent loop each side. Corrugated-iron lean-to to right.
Interior
Interior not available for inspection.
Reason for designation
Included as part of a little-altered C19 estate farm group, a very rare survival in the region.
