Description
The circular pigsty at Blaendulais Farm is built from rubble stone arranged in courses of thin stones with minimal mortar, and it was likely originally whitewashed. It has a circular plan with battered walls that curve into a pointed dome roof, which is constructed by slightly corbelling each successive course, culminating in a curved finial stone at the apex. There is a narrow door with iron lintels, and on the south side, there is a tiny window with a projecting stone lintel.
