History
Shown on the 1840 Tithe Map, the cowhouse/granary was probably built c1825, which is the date of an overmantel in the farmhouse and appears to be contemporary with the construction of the farmhouse; the pigsties are probably later C19 additions.
Exterior
All of roughly coursed rubblestone; slate roofs, cowhouse/granary with slate slabs to front slope. Cowhouse has 2 doorways at front alternating with 3 small multi-paned/ventilated windows, all with stone lintels; ventilation slits to left of centre and right, latter blocked. Stone steps with retaining wall on right gable end lead to boarded door; small rooflights to front and back lighting loft at this end. Pigsties behind cowhouse, larger at right-angles with gable-ended roof and 3 pens, smaller of lean-to type (also free standing) with 2 pens.
Interior
Loft at right end has corn bins and A-frame truss.
Reason for designation
Included as a well-preserved early C19 cowhouse/granary having strong group value with the other buildings at Eithinog-uchaf.
