Exterior
Linear single storey range built into raised ground giving access to pitching doors along the rear of the range. Built of coursed, mortared rubble masonry with large stones as quoins and lintels; slate roof with tiled ridge and advanced verges with shaped barge boards. The principal elevation opens into the yard to W and has 5 doors evenly spaced along the range; 3 pitching doors to rear.

The interior was not inspected at the time of the survey.
Reason for designation
Included as a little altered C19 cowhouse that forms part of a group of agricultural buildings that are an important element in the ensemble of domestic and working buildings at Cors y Gedol.
