Cadw's description

Located at the S side of the A496 c2km SW of Maentwrog. The pigsties and cartshed are to SW of the house at Felinrhyd-fawr and form the western side of the sloping farmyard; at right angles to the stables.

Probably contemporary with the stables (dated 1873) and the extensions to the house when this estate farm was expanded.

Single storey rubble and with single pitch slate roof. Two bay cartshed to right with supporting stone pier; 3 pigsties to left with slate stone gate piers.

Included for group value with the farmhouse and other listed items at Felinrhyd-fawr.
