Description
The cowbarn at Crafnant is constructed from roughly coursed drystone, featuring larger boulders at the base of the walls and large stones used as quoins and lintels. The roof is now made of profiled material but still has stone copings. There is a doorway in the northeast lateral wall, while the opposing doorway has been enlarged beneath a raking half dormer roofline that interrupts the eaves. Additionally, there is a pitching hole in the northwest gable.
