Description
The barn and cowhouse range at Pen-Y-Bont Farm is a 19th-century structure featuring a barn that is taller than the attached cowhouse. The barn has a hipped slate roof and is constructed from rubble with stressed quoins and stone lintels. There are opposing central doorways with modern boarded doors and vertical vent slits. The long cowhouse range is aligned with the barn and is lower in height, also featuring a hipped roof to the north. It has six doorways facing west, each with deep stone lintels, although the doorway on the far right has been blocked to create a window. Inside, there is a connecting doorway to the cowhouse, which includes a longitudinal feeding passage.
