Description
The lofted cowhouse at Wern Gron is an agricultural building constructed from boulders. Its roof extends over the aisle at the rear, creating an asymmetrical profile, and is covered with corrugated sheets while still featuring stone copings. The front of the building has a slightly protruding right bay, which includes a narrow door with a loft opening above it, positioned to the left. The main section has a doorway that is slightly offset to the right, accompanied by a small window to its right, and there is access to the loft through a doorway in the left gable.
Inside, the main part of the building features roughly hewn chamfered collared trusses, and the original timber stalls and mangers are still present.
