Description

The Cowhouse Range at Mill Farm, known as Felin Dolanog, is a building consisting of two short ranges arranged in tandem. It features axe-dressed uncoursed masonry, with the lower roof covered in slates and a tile ridge, while the higher range has a roof made of corrugated sheeting. Both ranges are timber framed and have boarding on the north elevation.

Facing north towards the yard, the lower range on the left includes a central heck door and two windows, with the wall being vertically boarded. There is also a centrally located door at the rear.

The higher range has a centrally positioned heck door on the north side, flanked by two windows and a loft hatch above. This wall is horizontally boarded. There is an opening at the rear, which is beneath a later informal roof that connects this building to a Dutch barn to the south, which is not listed. Additionally, there is a short extension at the west end of the higher range, at a higher level, functioning as a shed with doors facing north, leading to a small walled enclosure accessible from the bank of the mill leat.

Each range contains two bays of cowstalls with feeding walks, and the higher-roofed range includes a loft.
