Cadw's description
Location
Located c1km SE of Llanfair, in an isolated rural location at the end of a private track off a narrow country road which branches NE off the road which in turn branches off the A496 at Pont Pen-y-sarn-hir; the pigsties are to E of the house.
History
Probably contemporary with the adjacent agricultural range and cartshed built in late C18 or early C19.
Exterior
Pigsty range of several units, yard walls removed, feed room at L (N) end has a single doorway offset to W end of the N lateral wall. The range is built of rubble masonry; modern slate roof with tiled ridge.
Reason for designation
Included, notwithstanding condition, as a pigsty range which has a strong vernacular character and forms a group with the farmhouse and other buildings at the upland farmstead at Llwyn Hwlcyn.
