Description
The circular latrine at Blaen-nant-yr-hebog is an early 19th-century structure designed in the style of circular pigsties. It features a corbelled stone slab roof. The internal area has an ovoid shape and includes a stone slab that once supported the seat. Drainage is facilitated by a narrow stream that flows through two openings. At the time of the last survey in September 2003, the site was impenetrable, and in July 1989, the doorway lintel was broken and the corbelled roof was in a deteriorating condition.
