Description
Dryslwyn-fawr Pigsties is a range of five pigsties and a shed, built from rubble sandstone masonry and topped with a slate roof featuring a tile ridge. The slates are laid using the 'to'r brat' technique. The front yards are enclosed by stone walls and paved with limestone flags, and one boarded gate remains. The yard walls have rendered round copings. Inside, the structure has trusses with collar beams and one purlin on each side.
