Cadw's description
Location
Set well back, along a private trackway, from a country road which leads N off the A5025 towards the village of Llanbedrgoch. The farm is c1.5kms S of the village and 1.5kms NW of Pentraeth. The privy is directly SE of the house.
History
C18 or early C19 privy, probably contemporary with the farmhouse.
Exterior
Gable entry privy. Built of rubble masonry with roof of large slates and tiled ridge. The doorway is offset to the L of the NW gable, a rectangular doorway with timber lintel.
Interior
Interior not inspected at the time of the survey.
Reason for designation
Included as a privy building which retains a strong vernacular character and which forms a coherent and visual group with the adjacent farmhouse at Rhos y Gad.
