Description
This is an early 19th-century cartshed and attached pigsties located at Llanfryn-Y-Fran. The cartshed is built from rubble stone and features a grouted slate roof. Its end wall has a cut-stone elliptical arched cart-entry with a keystone. Inside, there are four tiers of brick doveholes with stone shelves in the gable, and the roof consists of four bays.
To the north of the cartshed is a low-walled rounded enclosure for a pigsty, followed by a distinctive pair of low pig-sties made from rubble stone. These pig-sties have thin stone slab roofing, with similar thin stone used internally for corbelled roofs. The first pig-sty has two small openings leading into the enclosure against the cartshed, while the second has a low door at the front but no enclosure.
The roofing style is exceptional for the area and is likely specific to the region of Llanvirn shales, which laminate effectively. Across the bank, there are two similarly constructed goose-shelters, which are rubble stone fronted with low entries and internal chambers measuring about 1 meter by 2 meters.
