Description

The outhouse at Ystumcegid is a Grade II listed building constructed from local stone rubble, with some areas rendered. It features an old slate roof and consists of two bays. The front has one stable-type door and one boarded door, suggesting it was used to house selected animals. Inside, the space is undivided and has a single central truss with straight sawn rafters that spring from the wall, supported by an applied collar.
