Description | The dating of this important base-cruck and aisle-truss hall house has been reported in previous volumes of VA (VA 27, List 74; VA 29, List 94). The aim of the programme of tree-ring dating, which has been commissioned by Cadw: Welsh Historic Monuments, has been to date each significant phase of the building. The hall (1460), inner-room floor (1594), and the fireplace hood (1630/1) have been dated. The timber-framed, weather-boarded agricultural addition to the south end of the house (probably a hay store) shown on the 1839 tithe map has now been dated with a precise felling date of 1808/9. Although the samples were processed in 1998, not enough late chronologies were then available to date this phase securely. A full report on Ty-Mawr, including the dendrochronology, appears in a special volume of The Montgomeryshire Collections (2001), ed. by W. J. Britnell. |
