Cadw's description
Location
To the north of the farmyard, some 50m south of the farmhouse.
History
Mid-late C19 pigsties, part of a planned farmstead group. Bodcoll was a farm on the Hafod estate, and it is likely that these buildings were provided by the estate.
Exterior
Small pigsty. Roughly coursed and squared local stone with slate roof with overhanging verges. Single storeyed range with asymmetrical roof (lower eaves to pen-side), and two walled pens. The pen walls have entrances towards centre and rough stone-on-end copings, and there is a pitched stone walkway outside them.
Reason for designation
Listed as typical mid C19 pigsties which form part of an exceptionally well-preserved planned farmstead group.
