Description
The cowhouse at Uwchlawr-coed is a building constructed from roughly coursed boulder stone. It features a roof made of small old slates with stone copings. The structure is built against a slope, which gives it an asymmetrical profile, and includes a long catslide roof at the rear. Access is provided through the lower gable, with a pitching door located in the upper gable and a small opening in the aisle. Ventilation slits are present in the long side walls. The interior was not inspected during the survey.
