Description

The cowhouse at Bryn-ffoulk is a small, simple stone building topped with a grouted slate roof. It features a single doorway in the center of the south elevation, which faces the fields, and has a stone lintel above it. There are no other openings in the structure. Inside, the cowhouse has a cobbled floor and rough timber partitions, which are likely not original, creating stalls to the left of the doorway. The building also includes a single A-frame truss.
