Penychain was built by the Glyn-llifon Estate in the mid C19 as a model farm. The farm buildings demonstrate an efficient and organised approach to farming undertaken by large estates of the mid Victorian period.
The piggery range is built of stone with slate roofs. It consists of 4 pig sties with open runs each side, each with dual feeding troughs on the W side accessed from the rear. The each sty has a low single opening to the run. The feeding structure in each run has slate troughs set under feed hoppers. Access to the sties is from a narrow passage via contemporary slatted iron gates leading from the farmyard end of the the small feed building at the S end, and is terminated on the N by the high crenellated perimeter wall linking the N wall of the N cowhouse range with the garden wall of the house.
Included as a well-designed element within the farmyard of the well preserved estate farm group at Penychain.
