Description
Ty'n Llwyn Farm features an L-shaped range of cattle sheds located at the southeast corner of the yard. These single-storey structures are built from rough quarry-dressed rubble combined with field stone, showcasing coarse mortared joints and large slate roofs. The cattle sheds consist of six bays on the eastern side of the yard, originally divided into two groups of four and two bays, separated by a surviving yard wall, with an additional three bays to the south. Each bay has a thin slate lintel above wide open entries, although some of these entries have been blocked. There are two doorways in the rear wall, one of which is also blocked. The sheds originally opened onto enclosed yards, with the rough boulder walls of these yards still visible to the left of the range and after the first four bays.
At the northern end of this range, there are remains of another lower building, which includes the roof and rear and side walls. A chimney is located on its right gable, indicating a wide fireplace within, suggesting it may have served as a pigsty or kitchen. The trusses of this building are of the collar strut type, featuring wrought-iron braces and posts, although they lack front support.
To the right of the southern range, there is a short length of wall with a wide entry leading to the field beyond, constructed from quarried and field stone. The cattle sheds have a standard layout, including a feeding walk at the rear marked by connecting doors through the dividing walls, and feature cobbled floors. The trusses are king-post and strut bolted, characteristic of mid-19th century design.
