Set back from the W side of the A487(T) on the southern approach to the village of Gellilydan. The cartshed range is directly to S of the farmhouse at Creigiau Duon.

There is an external flight of slate and stone steps up to the loft door in the E gable apex; a single storey outshot built against the S wall of the flight, with doorway offset to R (N). A wide cartbay, with long stone lintel, at the L (S) end of the range has been partially blocked with brick and now has a boarded stable door to R and modern casement window to L; to R is a open fronted cartshed or storage area, of 2-bays with central stone pillar.
