Description | A cruck-framed hall-house probably of 'peasant' type with three pairs of crucks with tiebeams defining the single-bayed hall and inner-room of a 'peasant' hall-house. The type has been described in Richard Suggett, Houses & History in the March of Wales (RCAHMW, 2005), and Llanhaylow should be added to the list of sites. The cruck frame had been dismantled prior to sampling, making a full interpretation of the building very difficult. Five of the six cruck blades were suitable for sampling. Two samples with complete sapwood from truss A failed to date conclusively. However another sample from truss A, as well as one each from trusses C and D did match together and dated. Another cruck from truss D also dated, but the 1545-75 date range shows that this cruck was from a later phase of construction. Sampling commissioned by owner in association with RCAHMW. |
