Description

The cart shelter and pigsties at Plas-uchaf are two buildings, with the cart shelter being the larger and located to the south. They are arranged in a north-south alignment and constructed from roughly coursed rubblestone with slate roofs. The cart shelter features two open bays, separated by a substantial stone pier on the west side. The pigsties are situated to the east, facing the yard, and are divided into one large pen and one smaller pen, both of which have well-preserved troughs and iron gates at the front. The interior was not accessible at the time of the survey.
