Cadw's description
Location
Forms the eastern range of the yard at Pen yr allt Isaf.
History
The pigsty and outside kitchen belong with the late C19 estate-sponsored improvements on this upland small-holding.
Exterior
Rubble built with machine-cut slate roofs. The outside kitchen is to the left, with chimney on its upper gable end. Front wall has been opened out, perhaps for later use as cartshed. Pigsty alongside is of lean-to construction against the rear wall, with walled yards in front; unequally divided as two pens, a smaller to the left, that to right with slate lined feeding chute and trough in the front wall.
Reason for designation
Listed notwithstanding damaged condition of kitchen as an integral component of this exceptionally complete small planned farmstead.
